Bill > H1054

This bill proposes to modify Chapter 132A Section 2D of Massachusetts General Laws by adding language to exempt veterans from Division of State Parks and Recreation fees. Specifically, the bill would expand an existing fee waiver provision that currently applies to Purple Heart recipients to now also include all veterans. By inserting the phrase "a veteran" after "Purple Heart recipient" in the existing law, the legislation aims to provide broader access to state parks without requiring payment of entrance or usage fees for those who have served in the military. This change represents a small but meaningful recognition of veterans' service by offering them free access to state recreational facilities, potentially enhancing their ability to enjoy outdoor spaces and public parks without financial burden.
