Under current law, DNR may enter into a contract with another party (vendor) to operate DNR's campground reservation system. Under the contract, DNR receives $1 of each campground reservation fee received.
Under the bill, such a contract requires that the vendor either remit to DNR $1 out of each fee or remit the entire fee to DNR. If the vendor remits the entire fee, DNR then returns to the vendor all but $1 of the fee. This bill creates a separate appropriation to provide payment to the vendor if the contract requires this second option.
