Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill eliminates the requirement that the Department of Natural Resources
issue a state trail pass and prohibits DNR from charging a person an admission fee
for entering any state trail.
Under current law, DNR is required to issue an annual state trail pass that
authorizes admission to a state trail for a fee of $25. DNR also issues a daily state
trail pass for a fee of $5. DNR is authorized to waive or alter these fees for certain
classes of persons or groups, certain areas, certain types of visitation or times of the
year, admission to special scheduled events or programs, or on a per person basis.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
