Exempts Gold Star family members from recreation passport fees in Michigan state parks and boating access sites.

Michigan SB1006 amends state park and public boating access site entry requirements to exempt Gold Star family members from paying recreation passport fees. This bill modifies sections 74116 and 78119 of the 1994 Public Act 451, which currently mandate that nonresident and resident motor vehicles must pay a recreation passport fee to enter state parks and public boating access sites. The changes ensure that Gold Star family members are not subject to these fees, aligning with the state's recognition of their service and sacrifice.
