HB215

Kentucky HB215 amends state park operations, including discounts for residents and restrictions on boat launching fees.

Kentucky HB215 modifies the operations of state parks, shrines, monuments, and museums under the Department of Parks. It allows the department to acquire lands for parks, improve parks with construction, and operate them while setting fees and charges. Notably, it offers Kentucky residents a 15% discount on lodging, golf passes, and golf rates, requiring proof of residency. The bill also restricts the department from imposing boat launching fees and prohibits businesses managing facilities with public boat ramps from charging such fees.
