AN ACT REPEALING THE PASSPORT TO THE PARKS FEE.
HB 5079 repeals a $5 annual fee called the "Passport to the Parks" that was added to motor vehicle registrations. This change directly affects all vehicle owners in the state who previously paid this fee when registering their cars. The bill simply removes the fee from the law, eliminating the charge without creating new programs or requirements. It does not alter park access or funding mechanisms, only eliminating the registration fee. The bill is procedural and focuses solely on removing this specific fee from statute.
