House Bill 265 (HB 265) increases the cost of a day-use permit by implementing a critical infrastructure fee of one dollar ($1.00) per vehicle for each state park. This fee will be credited to the newly created State-Park-Adjacent Municipality Fund that the Local Government Division (LGD) of the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) will administer. The fund’s purpose is to distribute this fee to municipalities adjacent to state parks for the repair, replacement and construction of critical infrastructure that provides access to the state park. The amount distributed is proportional to the fees collected from the state park adjacent to the municipality. HB 265 defines adjacent municipality.
