Relates to granting active duty military members free use of state parks and campsites
This bill (S 4932) grants active duty members of the U.S. armed forces free access to all state parks, campsites, and public recreation areas without requiring payment of fees. It amends existing law to explicitly include active duty military members as a category eligible for fee-free use, alongside existing exemptions for veterans, Gold Star families, and individuals with disabilities. The provision applies to all state-operated recreational facilities on the same terms as the general public, removing financial barriers for service members. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
