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 provides that a vehicle admission receipt is not required for any vehicle

occupied by a person who qualifies under federal law for a gold star lapel button

(commonly known as gold star family), which signifies that the recipient is the

immediate family member of a member of the U.S. armed forces who died while

serving during a time of conflict.
