Relates to granting active duty military members free use of state parks and campsites
This bill grants active duty military members of the U.S. armed forces free access to all state parks, campsites, and public recreational areas in the state, removing any fees they would otherwise pay. It amends existing state law to add "active duty military member" to the list of eligible groups (alongside veterans, Gold Star families, and those with disabilities) who can use these facilities fee-free under the same terms as the general public. The policy applies immediately to all state-managed recreational spaces, with no additional requirements or conditions specified. The bill directly affects active duty military personnel by providing cost-free access to these public resources.
