What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, vehicles entering state parks are required to display an
annual or daily admission receipt, for which the Department of Natural Resources
charges a fee. Under current law, DNR may waive these admission fees under
certain circumstances. This bill requires DNR to waive any daily fee for admission
to a state park on April 22 of each year in commemoration of Earth Day and its
founder, Gaylord Nelson.
