This bill would expand the free "America the Beautiful" style annual pass program, currently available to active-duty military and their dependents, to also include law enforcement officers and firefighters. Qualifying workers would need to show proof of eligibility under rules set by the Secretary of the Interior.
Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers and firefighters, including those who supervise convicted offenders or fight wildfires, would gain the new benefit. The general public and current pass-eligible military families are not directly affected.
The change would not alter fees for the general public but could slightly reduce fee revenue collected by federal land management agencies as more visitors enter for free.
