Article 13 - General Provisions
13.16 - Annual Vehicular Access Fee.

§ 13.16 Annual vehicular access fee. 1. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law to the contrary, the office or other state agency
having jurisdiction of a state park or recreational facility shall
establish an annual vehicular access fee which shall run from April
first of each year to March thirty-first of the following year,
entitling the holder thereof to a pass for vehicular admission without
additional fee to any state park or recreational facility which has a
vehicular access fee. Such annual fee shall be consistent with the fee
schedule for each particular year established pursuant to section 13.15
of this chapter and shall be approved by the director of the budget.

2. The pass for vehicular access shall be available at regional park
headquarters and such other places as the office or such other state
agency shall designate. Holders of such pass shall receive a decal to
be placed on the side window of a vehicle for purposes of
identification. Such decal shall have the emblem of the beaver thereon.

3. Such pass for vehicular access shall not be available to the owner
or operator of an omnibus operated for a commercial purpose, unless such
omnibus is operated by or pursuant to an agreement with a public or
private nonprofit agency for the purpose of transporting persons to or
from a state park for a recreational experience.

4. If it is demonstrated that the use of the pass for vehicular access
in particular parks or recreational facilities is contrary to the public
interest, the office or such other state agency having jurisdiction, may
prohibit its use in such particular parks or recreational facilities by
rule or regulation.

5. The office or other state agency having jurisdiction shall
promulgate such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out
the provisions of this section.
