If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to title 41, chapter 3, article 1.1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new section would require the Arizona State Parks Board to issue a lifetime veteran's pass at no charge to Arizona residents who have lived in the state for at least twelve months and who are either retired veterans or veterans with a service-connected disability. This provision aims to provide free access to state parks for eligible veterans.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the lifetime veteran's pass would grant park entrance for life to all state parks in Arizona, allowing the veteran and all passengers in their vehicle to enter at sites that charge per vehicle, or the veteran and up to three additional people at sites that charge per person. This change would enhance the benefits available to veterans, ensuring they can enjoy state parks without incurring entrance fees.
