FLORENCE, Ala. -- A new bill in state legislature would cut rental fees in half for Alabama residents. WAFF reports it might sound good to travelers, but tourism officials say it could cost jobs and create major budget issues.
On March 11, Senate Bill 532 was introduced in Montgomery and looked to completely overhaul how all Alabama state parks create revenue. If passed the bill would make state parks charge half of what they normally do during the summer peak season to Alabama residents looking to rent cabins or campsites.
The bill was expected to be assigned to the house tourism and travel committee next week.
