Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill would provide 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 $39,344 starting in fiscal year 2026-27. 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.
