AB88,1,3
1An Act to create 27.01 (7) (gm) 6. of the statutes;
relating to: vehicle admission
2receipts issued to certain members of the U.S. armed forces and to certain
3members of the national guard.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires that vehicles entering state parks or other recreational
sites managed by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) display an annual or
daily vehicle admission receipt (admission sticker). The fees for these admission
stickers are lower for vehicles that have Wisconsin registration plates than they are
for vehicles that have registration plates from other states.
This bill requires DNR to charge the lower annual or daily fee for an admission
sticker for a vehicle that has a plate from another state if the vehicle is owned by a
member of the U.S. armed forces who is stationed in this state or who is a member
of a reserve unit located in this state or if the vehicle is owned by a member of the
Wisconsin National Guard.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
