I thought I had read somewhere that new legislation was approved that allowed veterans to have free access to parks including the Gulf State Pier. Can anyone confirm or deny that for me? Thanks..

Not exactly.
Vets get a discount at the GSP pier, as they always have.
Free access applies to day use areas:
Parks for Patriots - Veterans Program | Alapark
Thank you. You wouldn't happen to know what the cost is at the pier with the discount?
Veteran's get free sightseeing, discounted fishing permits ($6.00 daily pass), and specials throughout the year. The Veterans Sponsorship program is fund based. Contributions to the fund can be made by anyone for any amount at the Gulf State Park Fishing and Education Pier. Proceeds from Memorial Wall plaques are also contributed to the Veteran's Sponsorship program. For more information, contact the Pier Manager at (251) 967-FISH or via email.
6.00 to fish ....instead of 9.00.
