Recreation: state parks; vehicles with a municipal license plate; allow to enter a park without a recreation passport. Amends secs. 74116 & 78119 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.74116 & 324.78119).

SB 446 amends Michigan law to allow vehicles displaying municipal license plates to enter state parks and public boating access sites without needing a recreation passport. Currently, vehicles with municipal plates (issued by cities, not the state) must still pay the recreation passport fee for entry, but this bill removes that requirement. The change applies directly to Michigan residents who drive vehicles registered with city-issued plates, such as those in Detroit or other municipalities. The bill updates existing exemptions in Sections 74116 and 78119 of the Natural Resources Act to explicitly include municipal plates.
