AB 1702: State park system: admission: veterans and military personnel.
What AB 1702 does, verified May 16, 2026
This bill aims to provide benefits to veterans and military personnel in California state parks. Currently, veterans can receive a free park pass if they provide proof of a disability, being a prisoner of war, or a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, along with an honorable discharge. The bill would eliminate the requirement for a veteran to be a "veteran of war". Additionally, the bill would introduce a 15% discount pass for veterans and military personnel to use all state park facilities.
