2003 Senate Bill 537 ↩

Senate Roll Call 253: Passed

To raise state park vehicle entrance fees. The annual fee for a resident would go from $20 to $24, for a nonresident from $20 to $29, and for a senior from $5 to $6. The daily fees would go from $4 to $6 for residents, and from $6 to $8 for nonresidents. The bill would also repeal a prohibition in current law that some of the fees may not be used to offset general fund money which otherwise would go to state parks. This is one of many bills authorizing fee increases totaling some $125.5 million which Gov. Jennifer Granholm proposed to close a gap between state spending and expected revenue in the Fiscal Year 2003-2004 budget.
