Governor Signs Two Discover Pass Bills

Today, Friday, March 30, 2012, Governor Gregoire signed two bills affecting the Discover Pass, the new user-fee based funding source for state parks that began last year. 

E2SHB 2373 now allows Discover Passes to be used on more than one vehicle.  SHB 6387 directs funds generated from Discover Pass fines from counties to the state parks instead.

Supporters of both bills hope these reforms will boost sales, and generate additional funding to stop further cuts or closures to state parks.
