Assembly Bill 1019 proposes amendments to the statutes regarding vehicle admission receipts for state parks in Wisconsin. The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation (DOT) provide applicants for original or renewal vehicle registration with an option to purchase an annual park sticker directly through their registration application. The DOT will collect the fees for these stickers and deposit them quarterly into the conservation fund. Additionally, the DOT is required to send a weekly list of applicants who purchased a park sticker to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which will then issue the stickers to those applicants.

The bill also includes specific legal language changes, such as the creation of new sections in the statutes that outline the fees associated with the park admission receipts and the process for issuing them. Notably, it amends the existing statute to clarify that an annual vehicle admission receipt will be issued to applicants identified by the DOT and specifies the fees that must be paid based on the applicant's circumstances, such as household ownership of a current admission receipt or senior citizen status. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the 13th month following its publication.
