The House Resources Committee has unanimously backed the new Idaho State Parks Passport program, the AP reports, which would allow people registering their vehicles to voluntarily add a $10 sticker to their car entitling them to entry into Idaho's 30 state parks. If 20 percent of Idaho motorists bought the stickers, the parks system would net $1.9 million a year - more than twice what the current $40 Idaho Parks Passport brings in. The bill, HB 446, has four high-profile co-sponsors: Senate Finance Chairman Dean Cameron, R-Rupert; House Majority Leader Mike Moyle, R-Star; House Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke, R-Oakley; and House Majority Caucus Chairman Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly; it now heads to the full House for a vote.
