1An Act to create 27.01 (9) (b) of the statutes; relating to: waiver of fees for
2admission to state parks on Earth Day. Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, vehicles entering state parks are required to display an annual or daily admission receipt, for which the Department of Natural Resources charges a fee. Under current law, DNR may waive these admission fees under certain circumstances. This bill requires DNR to waive any daily fee for admission to a state park on April 22 of each year in commemoration of Earth Day and its founder, Gaylord Nelson.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
