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 child 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.
