Rule 1501:46-2-40 | Disabled veteran and former prisoner of war camping fee exemption program.
Ohio residents may apply for a disabled veteran or prisoner of war camping credential which exempts the holder from camping fees as authorized in rule 1501:46-2-11 of the Administrative Code. An official document issued by one of the military forces of the United States or the department of veterans affairs is to be provided by the applicant to the division at the time of application that certifies one of the following:
(A) The Ohio resident is a former prisoner of war who was honorably discharged from the armed forces of the Unites States, or
(B) The Ohio resident is a permanently and totally disabled veteran who is receiving a pension or compensation from the department of veterans affairs and has received an honorable discharge from the armed forces of the United States.
No person is entitled to obtain a fee exemption under the provisions of this rule for the benefit of any other person. Veterans may be compelled to present state of Ohio identification upon request to further verify eligibility while camping.
The fee exemption is limited to camping reservations submitted from the customer account to which the credential was issued or assigned. Persons who fail to comply with the provisions of this rule may be restricted from obtaining future rentals and may have their customer account blocked or suspended.
Willful violation of the provisions of this rule may be subject to the penalties provided in section 1546.99 of the Revised Code.
