Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number , the significant provisions of the bill , and any related workload or policy assumptions , that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency .

The proposed legislation would have Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) and Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) designate up to 12 days of free entry to a recreation site or lands. DFW and DNR would align the free access
days with Parks.

The effective date of this legislation is 90 days after session ends, though for the purpose of this fiscal note State Parks
assumes July 1, 2022 as the implementation date.

The proposed legislation would have a marginal though indeterminate impact revenue and expenditures.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency , identifying the cash receipts provisions by section number
and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources . Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts
impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates . Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions .

The proposed legislation would have a marginal though indeterminate impact on revenue.

The possible revenue loss would be due to a reduction in the number of day-use pass sales. While the reduction in
day-use pass sales is indeterminate the revenue loss is expected to be marginal.
II. C - Expenditures
Briefly describe the agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation ), identifying by section number the
provisions of the legislation that result in the expenditures (or savings ). Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the
expenditure impact is derived . Explain how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates . Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions .

The proposed legislation would have a marginal though indeterminate impact on expenditures.

While the number of lost day-use pass sales is unknown the quantity impact on expenditures is considered immaterial.

Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number , the significant provisions of the bill , and any related workload or policy assumptions , that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency .

No fiscal impact.

The Department and partners have advertised and honored free days in line with the State Parks and Recreation
Commission designated free days. Change from state parks specific language to all state-owned recreation site or lands
is to bring law into line with current practices as WDFW and DNR lands are not designated State Parks. Visitors who
currently purchase day passes on free days despite advertising will likely continue to do so, therefore no fiscal impact.

FNS063 Individual State Agency Fiscal Note 1 Bill # 5504 SB
Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number , the significant provisions of the bill , and any related workload or policy assumptions , that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency .

Section 1 (2) as it exists it allows 12 calendar days each year for the public to access state parks for free. This legislation
will modify it to include access to recreation sites and lands.

To reduce confusion for the public, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) already honors State Parks free days in
practice as “discover pass free days” and Law Enforcement Officers and Recreation Wardens do not write citations for
vehicles on DNR lands that do not display a Discover Pass. Because of this, there would be no significant revenue
impacts.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency , identifying the cash receipts provisions by section number
and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources . Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts
impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates . Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions .
