This Act applies to passes purchased 14 on and after the effective date of this Act. An annual pass 15 purchased before the effective date of this Act shall remain 16 valid through one year after the date of purchase. 17 EXPLANATION 18 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 19 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 20 This bill relates to the lake Manawa and Waubonsie state park 21 user fee pilot programs. The pilot programs currently require 22 the department of natural resources (DNR) to charge entrance 23 fees for each vehicle operated by a nonresident at lake Manawa 24 and Waubonsie state parks. A nonresident may pay a fee for 25 up to two annual passes, one per vehicle, which grant daily 26 entrance into the state park through one year after the date of 27 purchase. The pilot programs authorize DNR to charge separate 28 fees to a resident and nonresident for campsite and shelter 29 reservations and for beach access. Under current law, the 30 pilot programs are repealed July 1, 2022. 31 The bill replaces the annual pass option with a pass that 32 grants daily entrance into the state park for the entire 33 calendar year during which the pass was purchased. However, 34 an annual pass purchased before the effective date of the bill 35 -2- LSB 5684SV (2) 89 js/rn 2/ 3

S.F. 2353 pursuant to current law shall remain valid through one year 1 after the date of purchase. The bill strikes the provision 2 authorizing DNR to charge separate fees to a resident and 3 nonresident for campsite and shelter reservations and for 4 beach access and instead authorizes DNR to identify situations 5 in which a reservation fee or other fee will be accepted in 6 lieu of an entrance fee or when an entrance fee will not be 7 charged. The bill authorizes a temporary DNR officer employed 8 at the state park to issue a citation to a person who violates 9 a provision of the pilot project. The bill extends the date 10 of the repeal to December 31, 2025, and takes effect upon 11 enactment. 12 -3- LSB 5684SV (2) 89 js/rn 3/ 3
