Summary

The bill lets qualifying counties adopt an ordinance that tacks on a maximum $1 fee to the state‑run entrance charge for parks and recreation areas within their borders. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources would collect the surcharge, report it, and forward the money to the county treasurer each month. The funds must be spent on public‑safety costs or infrastructure projects such as water‑quality improvements tied to tourism.
