What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, no person may operate a vehicle in any state park or in

certain other recreational areas on state land unless the vehicle displays a vehicle

admission receipt. This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to waive

the fee for an annual vehicle admission receipt issued to the parent or guardian of

a public or private school pupil who possesses a valid Every Kid Outdoors pass issued

by the U.S. National Park Service. Under current federal law, such a pass authorizes

free admission to national parks for any 4th grader and his or her family.
