Proposal would eliminate entrance fees for Michigan parks, increase vehicle registration by $10
From the Associated Press/m-live:
Motorists would no longer be charged entrance fees to use state parks and boat launches, instead paying $10 more a year in vehicle registration fees under bipartisan legislation to be announced Thursday.
Vehicle stickers would go by the wayside under the plan. Only a license plate would be needed to visit all 98 state parks and recreation areas, five state park trails, more than 1,000 boat sites and state forest campgrounds. Nightly camping fees would stay intact.
Drivers could opt out of paying the extra $10 if they said they wouldn’t be using the parks or other areas — an honor system of sorts.
