Law enforcement officers and firefighters would get free annual passes for national parks and federal lands.

This bill would let law enforcement officers and firefighters get a free annual pass to national parks and other federal recreation areas. Currently, only military members and their families get this free pass. This change would make it easier for these law enforcement officers and firefighters to enjoy public lands without paying an annual fee.

What Would Change

Currently, only members of the Armed Forces and their families can get a free annual pass to national parks and federal recreation lands.
