Assembly Bill 18 proposes to amend current law regarding vehicle admission receipts for state parks in Wisconsin. The bill mandates that the Department of Natural Resources waive the fee for an annual vehicle admission receipt for parents or guardians of children who possess a valid Every Kid Outdoors pass issued by the U.S. National Park Service. This pass allows free admission to national parks for 4th graders and their families, and the bill aims to extend similar benefits to state parks.

Additionally, the bill includes an amendment to the title of an existing statute concerning annual vehicle admission receipt fee waivers, changing it to reflect the inclusion of service members. The new provision will specifically allow for the fee waiver for vehicles owned by parents or guardians of children with the Every Kid Outdoors pass, thereby promoting access to state parks for families with school-aged children.
