The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 36, aims to amend existing statutes regarding fees associated with state parks in Connecticut. Specifically, it seeks to decrease the "Passport to the Parks Fee" for motor vehicle registration from twenty-four dollars to twenty dollars, as indicated by the insertion in subsection (b) of section 14-49b of the general statutes. This reduction is intended to provide financial relief to Connecticut residents.

In contrast, the bill also proposes an increase in the fee for a nonresident calendar year parking pass at any state park, forest, boat launch, or other state recreational facility. The fee will rise from one hundred twelve dollars to one hundred seventy-five dollars, as outlined in the insertion in subsection (c) of section 23-26 of the general statutes. The overall purpose of the bill is to balance the financial implications for residents and nonresidents using state recreational facilities.
