Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §10.1-202.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§10.1-202.2. Disabled Veteran's Passport established; free entry into state parks and discounted services.
The Department shall establish a Disabled Veteran's Passport
that entitles the bearer to:
(i) enter state parks in the Commonwealth without the payment of a parking or
admission fee and (ii) receive a 50 percent discount on camping and swimming
fees, picnic shelter rentals, and other Department-provided equipment rentals.
The passport shall be issued upon request to a veteran of the armed forces of
the United States with a letter from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs,
or from the military service that discharged the veteran, certifying that such
veteran has a service-connected disability rating of 100
percent. The passport shall be valid for as long as the
determination of the 100 percent
service-connected disability by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or by the military service that discharged the
veteran remains in effect.
