SB848,1,2 1An Act to create 27.01 (9) (b) of the statutes; relating to: waiver of fees for
2admission to state parks on Earth Day.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, vehicles entering state parks are required to display an
annual or daily admission receipt, for which the Department of Natural Resources
charges a fee. Under current law, DNR may waive these admission fees under
certain circumstances. This bill requires DNR to waive any daily fee for admission
to a state park on April 22 of each year in commemoration of Earth Day and its
founder, Gaylord Nelson.
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
