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 amends Tennessee state law to modify the existing requirement for free state park access for veterans. Previously, the division of parks and recreation was required to designate one day per year when veterans could access state parks, campgrounds, and golf courses free of charge. The new legislation changes this by mandating that the bureau of parks and conservation (a renamed or restructured department) must now provide free access for veterans on at least one day per year, which effectively gives more flexibility in scheduling and potentially allows for multiple free access days. The change is relatively minor but could provide veterans with more opportunities to enjoy state parks without paying entry fees. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the second section of the document.
