This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to provide specific discounts for campground and golf fees for West Virginia residents and employees of the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR). It establishes a 25% reduction in campground rental fees for eligible West Virginia residents during the off-peak season, which runs from the day after Labor Day to four days prior to Memorial Day. For the peak season, a 15% reduction applies. Additionally, DCR employees are entitled to a 50% reduction in campground rental fees and also receive a 50% discount on green and cart fees at state-managed golf courses.
Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for West Virginia residents aged 62 and older, granting them a 50% reduction in campground rental fees during the off-peak season and a 25% reduction during the peak season. The bill aims to enhance recreational access for residents and support DCR employees by making camping and golfing more affordable. The changes reflect a commitment to promoting outdoor activities while recognizing the contributions of state employees.
