AI Summary
This bill establishes a new 5 percent public safety parking surcharge on all paid parking at state park facilities, with the collected revenue to be deposited into a dedicated Public Safety Parking Surcharge Fund. This fund will then be used by the state treasurer to distribute the money quarterly to the municipalities that host these state parks, in proportion to the surcharge revenue generated at each park. These funds are intended to be used by the host municipalities solely for public safety services, such as police, fire, and emergency medical services, that are related to park visitation. The bill also specifies that this surcharge will take effect on July 1, 2026, and aims to provide a new funding stream to help local communities manage the public safety demands associated with increased park usage.
