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. 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.
