Exempts Gold Star family members from Michigan state park recreation passport fees.

This bill amends Michigan's state park recreation passport fee requirements to exempt Gold Star family members. The recreation passport fee is paid when applying for or renewing a motor vehicle registration, allowing entry into state parks and boating access sites. The bill ensures that Gold Star family members are not required to pay this fee, providing them with free access to these recreational areas. The fee amount is adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index.
