Bill Summary

Section 186 contained in the engrossed Bill making appropriations for the fiscal year 2017 (see House, No. 4450), which had been returned by His Excellency the Governor with recommendation of amendment (for message, see Attachment S of House, No. 4505). July 11, 2016.

AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2016, requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), in collaboration with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), to offer discounted annual MassParks passes and senior MassParks passes for purchase when individuals apply for or renew their vehicle registration or driver's license. These passes will cover day-use admission and parking fees for one calendar year at state-owned facilities that charge for parking. The Secretary of Administration and Finance will set the discounted fee, ensuring it's no more than the cost at other DCR facilities, with all collected fees going to the DCR for park maintenance and improvements. The DCR is also tasked with exploring ways to expand pass sales, such as offering multi-year or automatically renewing passes, and must report its findings by December 31, 2016.
