Senate Bill 718 proposes to amend current law regarding vehicle admission requirements for state parks in Wisconsin. The bill stipulates that a vehicle admission receipt will not be necessary for any vehicle occupied by a person who is recognized as a veteran under federal law or who qualifies for a gold star lapel button, which is awarded to immediate family members of U.S. armed forces members who died in service during conflict.

To implement this change, the bill introduces new legal language under section 27.01 (7) (c) 13. of the statutes, specifying the criteria for exemption from the vehicle admission requirement. This initiative aims to honor and provide free access to state parks for veterans and gold star families, acknowledging their sacrifices and contributions to the nation.
