Assembly Bill 744 proposes to amend current law regarding vehicle admission requirements for state parks in Wisconsin. Specifically, the bill creates a new provision under section 27.01 (7) (c) 13, which states that a vehicle admission receipt is not 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. The gold star lapel button is awarded to immediate family members of U.S. armed forces members who have died in service during times of conflict.

This legislation aims to honor veterans and gold star families by allowing them free access to state parks, thereby promoting their well-being and encouraging their participation in outdoor recreational activities. The bill has been introduced by a group of representatives and senators and has been referred to the Committee on Veterans and Military Affairs for further consideration.
