Recreation: state parks; recreation passport requirement; exempt Gold Star family members in vehicle code. Amends sec. 805 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.805). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4672'25

HB 4673 amends Michigan's vehicle code to exempt Gold Star families (immediate family members of military service members killed in action) from the annual state park recreation passport fee. The bill changes section 805 of the Michigan Vehicle Code (MCL 257.805) to remove this fee requirement specifically for Gold Star family members when accessing state parks. This directly affects eligible Gold Star families by eliminating a cost for park access. The provision modifies an existing fee structure rather than creating new requirements or programs.
