AN ACT DECREASING THE PASSPORT TO THE PARKS FEE AND INCREASING THE NONRESIDENT PARKING PASS FEE AT ANY STATE PARK.

SB 36 lowers the annual vehicle registration fee for Connecticut residents from $24 to $20 ("Passport to the Parks Fee"). It simultaneously raises the nonresident annual parking pass fee at all state parks, forests, boat launches, and recreational facilities from $112 to $175. The bill directly affects Connecticut residents (receiving a $4 annual reduction) and nonresidents (paying $63 more annually for parking access). These specific fee adjustments are implemented through amendments to existing statutes governing vehicle registration and park access fees.
