AI Summary
This bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to modify regulations for motor vehicle entry into state parks and public boating access sites. Specifically, the bill updates requirements for nonresident and resident motor vehicles, clarifying that nonresident vehicles must have a valid park permit affixed to the windshield and resident vehicles must have paid the recreation passport fee. The bill adds new exemptions to these requirements, including for vehicles associated with free fishing days and certain types of registered vehicles. The bill also makes technical changes to the language, such as changing "shall" to "must" in some sections. Importantly, the bill includes a provision that it will only take effect if a companion House Bill (HB 4673) is also enacted. The changes aim to standardize and clarify the rules for vehicle entry into state parks and boating access sites, with provisions for various exceptions and special circumstances.
