Law Enforcement Officer and Firefighter Recreation Pass Act

Free parks pass for military and responders

If enacted, members of the Armed Forces and their dependents would be able to get the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass at no cost. Law enforcement officers and firefighters employed by federal, state, local, or tribal governments would also be able to get a free pass if they provide proof the Secretary accepts. The bill defines firefighter to include government employees who directly fight fires, including wildland fires. It defines law enforcement officer to include officers, agents, or employees authorized to investigate or supervise criminal law matters, or to supervise sentenced offenders. The change would take effect upon enactment.
