Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill provides free admission for members of federally recognized Indian nations, tribes and bands to state-owned parks, historic sites, camping areas and beaches.  This is estimated to reduce General Fund revenue by $22,131 in fiscal year 2024-25 and $29,508 starting in fiscal year 2025-26.  This estimate assumes that tribal members will use state-owned parks, historic sites, camping areas and beaches at the same rate as Maine residents and nonresidents.
