Whitmer supports opt-out system for state park passes

Whitmer expressed her support in her 2025 budget recommendations for legislation that would automatically charge vehicle owners a fee for entry to state parks.

Another fine piece of legislation introduced House Bill 5428, which would automatically take from vehicle owners a $10 entry fee for the recreation passport, regardless of whether they visit state parks.

Vehicle owners who do not want to pay the fee would have to request a refund from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, within 30 days of the charge.
