Bill > SB2658

This bill allows the Pat Harrison Waterway District, a government entity responsible for public parks and recreation areas, to offer discounts to active-duty, reserve, National Guard, and veteran members of the U.S. Armed Forces for using its parks, campgrounds, facilities, and recreational areas. The district's board of directors will have the authority to decide who is eligible for these discounts, what the discount amounts will be, and the specific terms and conditions, which could include reduced fees for entry, camping, or facility rentals. The bill also permits the board to establish necessary policies and procedures to verify eligibility and manage these discount programs, while clarifying that this new authority does not prevent the district from offering other beneficial programs.
