Senate Bill 1005 aims to streamline the process for purchasing annual vehicle admission receipts for state parks by integrating it with the vehicle registration process. The bill mandates the Department of Transportation (DOT) to include an option on vehicle registration applications for applicants to indicate their desire to purchase an annual park sticker. The fees collected for these stickers will be deposited quarterly into the conservation fund, and the DOT is required to provide the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with a weekly list of applicants who have purchased the stickers, allowing the DNR to issue them accordingly.

The bill also amends existing statutes to clarify the issuance of vehicle admission receipts. Specifically, it states that an annual vehicle admission receipt will be issued to each applicant identified by the DOT and outlines the fees associated with the purchase of these receipts. The legislation includes provisions for different fee structures based on the applicant's circumstances, such as whether they or a household member already possess a current annual vehicle admission receipt or if the applicant is a senior citizen. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance accessibility and convenience for Wisconsin residents wishing to access state parks.
