Proposed Bill Changes Validity Dates Of State Park Passes

Wednesday, August 16th, 2023 -- 8:00 AM

(Ted Ehlen, WRN) A proposal in the state legislature would make changes to Wisconsin state park passes.

The measure, proposed by Harrison State Representative Ron Tusler and Green Bay State Senator Robert Cowles, would allow state parks passes to be valid for a full year, regardless of the date you bought the pass.  A current park pass is only good until December 31st of the year you purchased it.

The proposed bill would validate the pass for a full year, based on the month of sale.  In essence, if you bought the pass this month, it would be good until August of 2024.  If approved, the change would not take effect until 2025.
