2009 - 2010 LEGISLATURE

2009 Assembly BILL 94

February 27, 2009 - Introduced by Representatives Bies, Kaufert, Nygren, A. Ott, Spanbauer and Townsend, cosponsored by Senators A. Lasee and Grothman. Referred to Committee on Tourism, Recreation and State Properties.

AB94,1,5 An Act to amend 27.01 (7) (d), 27.01 (7) (f) 1. and 27.01 (7) (g) 1.; and to create 27.01 (7) (f) 2m. and 27.01 (7) (g) 2m. of the statutes; relating to: issuing annual vehicle admission receipts for motor buses for entry to state parks and other vehicle admission areas under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires that any vehicle entering any state park or certain other properties under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) display a vehicle admission receipt or sticker. Fees for these stickers are established by statute, with a higher fee for stickers issued for out-of-state vehicles. For a motor vehicle, the driver may be issued an annual or a daily sticker upon payment of the fee. Under current law, DNR issues daily stickers for buses, but may not issue annual stickers. This bill requires DNR to issue annual stickers for buses from Wisconsin and from other states and sets fees for these stickers.

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:
