PARKS AND RECREATION -- Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to revise the parks passport program and the parks and recreational activity programs.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
This legislation combines all of the outdoor recreation sticker programs into a single $9 fee paid with vehicle registration. It removes requirements to purchase stickers for the Parks Passport, Off Highway Vehicles, Snowmobiles, and Park and Ski for residents, and also removes the motor vehicle entry fee for residents to state parks. It ensures that each of these programs remains fiscally whole, and creates a similar program for non motorized trails.
FISCAL NOTE
▶ Show fiscal note▼ Hide fiscal note
This legislation replaces a wide variety of user fees with one single fee. It will raise an estimated $19,000,000 per year from vehicle registration fees. The revenue will be split as follows: 60% to Parks and Recreation for their operations, 16% for the OHV fund, 13.5% for the snowmobile fund, 10% for the nonmotorized trails fund, 0.5% for the cross country skiing recreation fund.
