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 amends the title of an existing statute related to vehicle admission receipt fee waivers to include service members. The new legal language specifies that the fee waiver applies to 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.
