HB 1556 Indiana House · 2025 Regular Session

Free state park admission for veterans.

HB 1556 requires the Department of Natural Resources to provide free admission to all state parks for veterans who present valid identification proving their service. This bill directly affects eligible veterans by eliminating park entry fees, making state parks more accessible to them. The key provision is the mandatory free access for veterans with proper ID, shifting the cost from the veteran to the state park system. It does not alter existing fee structures for non-veterans or specify funding mechanisms. The bill is currently under review by the Natural Resources Committee.
