This bill amends West Virginia Code 20-5-18 to establish discounts for campground and golf fees for West Virginia residents and employees of the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR). It introduces a 25% reduction in campground rental fees for residents who can prove their residency with a valid West Virginia driver's license, applicable from the day after Labor Day until four days before Memorial Day. During the peak season from four days before Memorial Day to Labor Day, residents will receive a 15% discount. Additionally, the bill provides a 50% reduction in campground rental fees for DCR employees, as well as 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% discount during the peak season. The changes aim to enhance recreational access for residents and support DCR employees, while also ensuring that older citizens benefit from reduced fees. The bill effectively replaces previous language regarding discounts for residents over 62 with updated provisions that clarify the discount structure for all eligible groups.
