Amend the amendment in section 6 in the 2nd paragraph by striking out all of the last sentence (page 3, line 41 and page 4, lines 1 to 4 in amendment) and inserting the following: 'Pending issuance of the passes by the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management pursuant to Title 37-B, section 8, state parks and historic sites shall grant free day use admission to a veteran upon the veteran's good faith production of easily recognizable identification, including but not limited to discharge papers and license plates.'

summary

Committee Amendment "A" requires the Commissioner of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management to confer with the Commissioner of Conservation to determine if easily recognizable identification held by veterans may be used to verify eligibility for free admission to state parks and historic sites pending the issuance of passes authorized under the legislation. This amendment instead provides that, pending the issuance of such passes, state parks and historic sites shall grant free day use admission upon a veteran's good faith production of easily recognizable identification.
