H 901 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act providing parks pass waiver for veterans

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to exempt veterans from the fees required for a Parks Pass. Currently, only Purple Heart recipients are eligible for this waiver, but the legislation expands this benefit to include all veterans. The change directly affects military service members who wish to visit state parks without paying the standard entry fee. By updating the legal text in Chapter 132A, the bill ensures that any veteran can access the parks pass waiver regardless of the specific type of injury or service they received.
