relative to state park fees for state residents.
This bill establishes a fee structure for New Hampshire state parks that provides financial discounts to state residents compared to nonresidents. It mandates that entry fees for residents collected online or at park entrances must be no more than 50% of the fees charged to nonresidents. Additionally, the law allows park officials to set separate rates for specific services like camping or parking, requiring resident fees to be capped at 90% of nonresident rates. Residency for these purposes can be verified through various documents such as state ID cards, utility bills, or vehicle registrations. The changes are scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2025.
