An act to add Section 5010.8 to the Public Resources Code, relating to state parks.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the California Department of Parks and Recreation to issue free vehicle day use annual passes to the California State Library to support the California State Library Parks Pass Program. Specifically, the department can provide these passes at its discretion and only after the Legislature appropriates funds for this purpose through the annual Budget Act or another statute. The California State Library Parks Pass Program appears to be a initiative that would allow library patrons to access state parks without paying a daily vehicle entry fee. By providing free annual passes, the bill aims to make state parks more accessible to the public through the library system. The bill adds a new section (5010.8) to the Public Resources Code to enable this program, giving the Department of Parks and Recreation the flexibility to support the State Library's efforts to increase park accessibility.
