The bill introduces a fee waiver for vehicle admission receipts for parents or guardians of children with Every Kid Outdoors passes in Wisconsin state parks.

  • 27.01 (9) (bg)

    Annual vehicle admission receipt fee waiver; 4th graders. The department shall waive the fee, including the issuing fee, imposed under sub. (7) for an annual vehicle admission receipt for any vehicle, except a motor bus, that has Wisconsin registration plates and that is owned by a person who produces evidence that he or she is the owner and is the parent or guardian of a child who possesses a valid Every Kid Outdoors pass issued by the U.S. National Park Service.

    This creates a new provision that waives vehicle admission fees for eligible parents or guardians of children with an Every Kid Outdoors pass.

  • 27.01 (9) (bn) (title)

    Annual vehicle admission receipt fee waiver; service members. → Annual vehicle admission receipt fee waiver; service members.

    This updates the title of an existing section to properly categorize the fee waiver for service members.
