Annual vehicle admission receipt validity period. (FE)

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill provides that vehicle admission receipts issued by the Department of Natural Resources are valid for approximately one year, rather than only during the calendar year in which they were issued.

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 DNR to issue an annual vehicle admission receipt that is valid for the calendar year for which it is issued. Under the bill, beginning in 2025, DNR must design the annual vehicle admission receipt to display each month of the year in a manner that allows the department to indicate the month in which the receipt is issued. The bill provides that a vehicle admission receipt is valid until the final day of the 12th month following the month in which it is issued.
