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, provided they can present evidence of ownership and the child's valid pass. This initiative aligns with the federal program that allows free admission to national parks for 4th graders and their families.

Additionally, the bill amends the title of a section related to annual vehicle admission receipt fee waivers to include service members, reflecting a broader scope of individuals eligible for fee waivers. The proposed changes are designed to enhance access to state parks for families with children in the 4th grade, promoting outdoor activities and engagement with nature.
