	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 150, Olsen. State parks: armed services: fee waiver.
   Existing law requires certain veterans of a war in which the
United States is or has been engaged, upon application and
presentation to the Department of Parks and Recreation of certain
proof, including proof of a disability or proof of being held captive
as a prisoner of war, to be issued a pass entitling the bearer use
of all facilities, including boat launching facilities, in units of
the state park system.
   This bill would authorize the department to offer a veteran, as
defined, or current active duty or reserve military personnel for the
United States Armed Forces or the National Guard of any state, a
reduced fee or free day use of the California state parks, as
provided, on Memorial Day and Veterans Day if certain conditions are
met, including that proper proof is supplied.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 5011.6 is added to the Public Resources Code,
to read:
   5011.6.  The department may offer a reduced fee or free day use of
any unit of the state park that is operated by the state and
accessible with a vehicle day use annual pass, as those parks are
listed on the department's Internet Web site, to a veteran, as
defined in Section 980 of the Military and Veterans Code, or active
duty or reserve military personnel for the United States Armed Forces
or the National Guard of any state, on Memorial Day and Veterans Day
if the veteran can provide proof of current military identification,
or proof of discharge under conditions other than dishonorable or
bad conduct, or the active duty or reserve military personnel of the
Armed Forces or the National Guard can provide current military
identification.
