Updating the cost of the discover pass and day-use permits.

The annual cost of the Discover Pass increased from $30 to $45 to account for inflation.

A new family Discover Pass option was added, priced at no more than $50, which is fully transferable among vehicles.

A new lifetime disabled veteran pass was created, granting free admission to all state recreation sites and lands, not just state parks.

The Discover Pass must display space for three license plate numbers beginning July 1, 2026, up from two.

The penalty for failing to display a pass was increased from $99 to $99 (note: the original text showed $99, but the diff indicates a change from a lower amount to $99, or potentially a correction; based on the diff showing '((ninety-nine dollars))$99', the amount remains $99 but the text was clarified or adjusted in context of the penalty reduction clause).

The definition of valid pass usage was updated to clarify that a lifetime disabled veteran pass is equivalent to a Discover Pass for access purposes.

Bill number changed from S-0408.2 to S-1904.2 and the effective date was updated to February 28, 2025.

The act's purpose was updated to focus on 'discover pass and distributions' rather than updating the cost of both passes and permits.

The legislative finding regarding the intent to update the cost of day-use permits was removed, leaving only the intent to update the Discover Pass cost.

The section amending RCW 79A.80.030 (day-use permit pricing and review) was replaced with RCW 79A.80.090, which establishes the recreation access pass account and outlines revenue distribution rules.

The specific mandate to increase the day-use permit fee from $10 to $15 was removed from the text.

New provisions were added detailing how revenue from the recreation access pass account must be distributed to state agencies, including specific percentages for fish and wildlife, natural resources, and state parks.
