Such program shall require a person to accumulate no less than 20 hours of in-kind service at a specific state park, for which said person will receive an annual pass to that recreation area. Furthermore, a person accumulating more than 40 hours of in-kind service shall receive an annual pass that will allow said person access to all state-owned recreation areas within the Commonwealth.
