A bill that would offer discounted state park passes to motorists obtaining or renewing their vehicle registration was cleared by the state Senate Appropriations Committee by a 5-2 vote Friday after debate over whether it should be an opt-in rather than opt-out program.
Senate Bill 249 would create the Keep Colorado Wild annual pass, which would have to be sold for no more than half the cost of an annual vehicle pass, now $80, for access to Colorado Parks and Wildlifeâs 42 state parks. The bill is supported by CPW and Department of Natural Resources, whose officials hope it would boost park pass sales so much that the passes could be sold for as little as $20 while still sharply boosting funding for state parks and helping fund other things such as search-and-rescue and avalanche programs, trails and wildlife conservation.
