About this statute
These regulations set park-entry, camping, facility-use, vehicle, fire, wildlife, litter, and disposition rules for park land, and give the minister and enforcement officers permit, designation, inspection, and cancellation powers. This provision sets out park-land lease valuation rules, fees, building-permit requirements, and many conduct prohibitions unless the minister gives written consent. An appeal review panel or adjudicator can hear recreational lease fee appeals, consider only specified matters, and must issue a written decision within 90 days after the hearing. If an appeal succeeds, the minister must adjust the annual fee and refund the $100 appeal fee.
