AN ACT Relating to reducing the amount of permits required for recreation at a sno-park; amending RCW 79A.80.060 and 79A.80.010; and creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1. In 2016, the legislature directed state parks to develop options and recommendations to improve the consistency, equity, and simplicity in recreational access fee systems. This process identified the layering of park permit requirements that apply to sno-parks, and so the legislature intends to address this issue.
Sec. 2. RCW 79A.80.060 and 2011 c 320 s 7 are each amended to read as follows:
The discover pass or the day-use permit are not required, for persons who have a valid sno-park ((seasonal)) permit issued by the state parks and recreation commission, at designated sno-parks between November 1st through March 31st.
Sec. 3. RCW 79A.80.010 and 2013 2nd sp.s. c 23 s 22 are each amended to read as follows:
The definitions in this section apply throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
(1) "Agency" or "agencies" means the department of fish and wildlife, the department of natural resources, and the parks and recreation commission.
(2) "Annual natural investment permit" means the annual permit issued by the parks and recreation commission for the purpose of launching boats from the designated state parks boat launch sites.
(3) "Camper registration" means proof of payment of a camping fee on recreational lands managed by the parks and recreation commission.
(4) "Day-use permit" means the permit created in RCW 79A.80.030.
(5) "Discover pass" means the annual pass created in RCW 79A.80.020.
(6) "Motor vehicle" has the same meaning as defined in RCW 46.04.320 and which are required to be registered under chapter 46.16A RCW. "Motor vehicle" does not include those motor vehicles exempt from registration under RCW 46.16A.080, wheeled all-terrain vehicles registered for use under RCW 46.09.442, and state and publicly owned motor vehicles as provided in RCW 46.16A.170.
(7) "Recreation site or lands" means a state park, state lands and state forestlands as those terms are defined in RCW 79.02.010, natural resources conservation areas as that term is defined in RCW 79.71.030, natural area preserves as that term is defined in RCW 79.70.020, and fish and wildlife conservation sites including water access areas, boat ramps, wildlife areas, parking areas, roads, and trailheads.
(8) "Sno-park ((seasonal)) permit" means the ((seasonal)) permit issued by the parks and recreation commission for providing access to winter recreational facilities for the period of November 1st through March 31st.
