Assembly Bill 744 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 indicates that the individual is an immediate family member of a U.S. armed forces member who died in service during a time of conflict.

To implement this change, the bill creates a new section, 27.01 (7) (c) 13., in the statutes. This section specifies that any vehicle, with the exception of motor buses, occupied by individuals who can provide evidence of their veteran status or eligibility for the gold star lapel button will be exempt from the vehicle admission fee in state parks.
