This bill amends existing law (RCW 79A.80.020 and RCW 79A.80.030) and adds a new section to require a discover pass for any motor vehicle parking at or operating on recreation sites or lands, subject to exceptions in the chapter. It sets the discover pass price at $45 (subject to RCW 79A.80.110), requires the pass to be valid for one year from an activation date that may differ from the purchase date, and requires space for two license plate numbers with the pass valid only for the plates written on it. The bill allows agencies to offer a transferable family discover pass (no license plates required) with the agencies collectively setting the family price at no more than $50, and specifies a discover pass may be used with only one motor vehicle at a time. It provides one complimentary discover pass to a volunteer who performs 24 hours of agency‑sanctioned volunteer service in a year, allows married spouses under chapter 26.04 RCW to combine vouchers for a single complimentary pass, sets day‑use permits at $15 per calendar day, authorizes short‑term parking where a day‑use permit is not required under RCW 79A.80.070, and requires the Office of Financial Management to review discover pass and day‑use permit costs every four years and recommend inflation adjustments to the legislature. Sales must be consistent with RCW 79A.80.100. These are procedural and fee changes to existing recreational use law rather than creation of a new crime or new penalties. The text refers to other RCWs and to “the agencies” without naming them and omits the full text of the cross‑referenced sections, so any exceptions, sale procedures, or agency-specific details contained in those referenced sections are not available in the provided facts.

If enacted, most people who drive to state recreation sites will need to either buy a $45 annual discover pass (valid one year from activation) or a $15 day‑use permit for each calendar day they visit. Single‑vehicle annual passes must show up to two license plates and are only valid for the plate numbers listed, while agencies can offer a transferable family pass capped at $50 that doesn’t require plate numbers; volunteers who log 24 hours of agency‑sanctioned work (or married spouses who combine hours) can get one complimentary annual pass. State agencies that sell and enforce these passes will face new operational tasks—printing passes with plate spaces, issuing and accepting volunteer vouchers, offering a family pass option, and handling short‑term parking rules—while collecting predictable fee revenue under the set prices (but also foregoing some revenue for complimentary passes and constrained by the family‑pass price cap). The Office of Financial Management must review these fees every four years and may recommend inflation adjustments, but the bill text here does not specify which agencies are covered or the exceptions found in the cross‑referenced sections, so some implementation details and potential revenue impacts remain unclear.
