I do hope that this post is alright for this forum, if not then just take it down and let me know where to post such material please.
I was shown this and was shocked at how many people were not aware of this new regulation. However don't think that some States are going to give up all that Revenue so easily. It might be advisable to copy this and carry it with you. Being charged for use of Public Lands as well as National Forests is a Crime, that is unless you use State improvements. You can not be charged a fee for travelling through or for parking on an unimproved parking area.

picnicking along roads or trailsides.

either or both of which are outside any unit or area at
which recreation fees are charged under this Act.
