What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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. Current law requires the Department of Natural Resources to issue an annual vehicle admission receipt that is valid for the calendar year for which it is issued. This bill requires DNR to waive the fee for an annual vehicle admission receipt issued to the parent or guardian of a 4th grade pupil. The bill provides that a parent or guardian of a qualifying pupil may receive the waiver only once in his or her lifetime and DNR may issue a waiver only once for a household.
The bill also requires DNR to provide on its website an activity guide for state parks, forests, recreation areas, and trails.
