Senate Bill 19 aims to amend existing laws regarding vehicle admission receipts for state parks in Wisconsin by introducing a fee waiver for parents or guardians of children who possess a valid Every Kid Outdoors pass issued by the U.S. National Park Service. This bill mandates that the Department of Natural Resources waive the fee for an annual vehicle admission receipt for vehicles owned by these parents or guardians, thereby allowing free access to state parks for families of 4th graders who hold the pass.
Additionally, the bill amends the title of a section related to fee waivers for service members to include the term "service members" explicitly. The changes reflect a commitment to enhancing access to state parks for families with children in the 4th grade, aligning with federal initiatives that promote outdoor activities for youth.
