Recreation: state parks; recreation passport requirement; exempt Gold Star family members in vehicle code. Amends sec. 805 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.805).
SB 1005 amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to exempt Gold Star family members from the state parks recreation passport requirement. This change directly affects families who have lost a loved one in military service by removing the fee they must pay to access state parks. The bill does not alter any other provisions of the vehicle code or create new requirements for other drivers. It is a procedural amendment focused solely on this specific exemption for a designated group of individuals.
