The bill H. 3340 proposes an amendment to Section 51-3-65 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the fee structure for state parks. The amendment aims to provide discounts on campsite rental fees specifically for certain military members, retirees, and veterans who are residents of South Carolina. It stipulates that these individuals must receive the same discounts as other residents who qualify under Section 51-3-60, ensuring that they are not excluded from the benefits available to South Carolina residents.

The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining fiscal soundness and the continued operation of the State Park System while expanding the eligibility for discounts to include members of the South Carolina National Guard, Armed Forces retirees, Reserves, and veterans. This change is intended to recognize and honor the service of these individuals by providing them with financial relief when utilizing state park facilities. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
