Provides that the Department must not charge an annual vehicle admission fee or a daily access fee to Illinois residents who are either disabled or veterans and must charge discounted fees to seniors. Provides that vehicles with current registered environmental or sportsman series license plates are exempt from these fees. Authorizes the Department to create a volunteer pass program that would allow each person who provides 500 or more hours of volunteer service at a State park (and up to 3 of his or her guests) to enter properties owned, managed, or both by the Department without paying an annual vehicle admission fee or a daily access fee. Requires revenue generated by the annual vehicle admission and daily access fees to be deposited into the State Parks Fund.
