Relating to: fee waivers for state park vehicle admission receipts to pupils with Every Kid Outdoors passes. (FE)
SB 19 creates a fee waiver for Wisconsin state park vehicle admissions for families with 4th graders who have an active Every Kid Outdoors pass from the U.S. National Park Service. It directly affects Wisconsin residents who are parents or guardians of eligible 4th graders, waiving the annual vehicle admission fee (including issuance costs) for vehicles with Wisconsin plates. The bill requires proof of the child's pass and the parent/guardian's ownership of the vehicle. This policy change provides free access to state parks for these families without altering existing park fees for other visitors.
