The proposed bill would amend section 41-511.05 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new provision that exempts first responders from admission fees at state parks. This exemption would extend to all passengers in the same personal vehicle as the first responder for parks that charge per vehicle, or to the first responder and up to three additional individuals for parks that charge per person. To qualify for this exemption, first responders must present their employee identification.

Current law allows the Arizona State Parks Board to levy and collect reasonable fees for park usage and enter into agreements for alternative payment methods. The new bill language does not alter these existing provisions but adds the specific exemption for first responders, thereby enhancing access to state parks for these individuals and their companions.
