Bill Summary
As introduced, requires the bureau of parks and conservation to designate at least one day per year, instead of just one day per year, during which access to and use of all state parks, including campgrounds and golf courses, must be free of charge for all veterans. - Amends TCA Title 58, Chapter 3.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Tennessee's existing law regarding free state park access for veterans by changing the language from the "division of parks and recreation" to the "bureau of parks and conservation" and expanding the requirement from "one (1) day per year" to "at least one (1) day per year" during which veterans can access and use all state parks, including campgrounds and golf courses, free of charge. The change appears to provide more flexibility for veterans' free park access by allowing multiple potential free days instead of strictly limiting it to a single day annually. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare. This modification represents a small but potentially meaningful enhancement to benefits for veterans in Tennessee by potentially increasing their opportunities to enjoy state parks without paying entrance or usage fees.
