Declares an intent to create an evergreen recreation pass that will be available to serve as a renewable annual recreation parking pass for state-owned recreation sites in lieu of day-use parking fees, that this recreation parking pass will be widely available, and that the purchase of this pass is optional for members of the general public.

Declares an intent to encourage coordination with federal natural resource recreational land managers and neighboring states to develop a regional recreational parking pass.
