Free park passes for military and responders

You would be able to get a free National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass if you are a member of the Armed Forces or a dependent. You would also be able to get one if you are a law enforcement officer or a firefighter as the bill defines. The bill defines firefighter as a Federal, State, local, or Tribal employee who works directly on suppressing fires, including wildland fires. The bill defines law enforcement officer as an officer, agent, or employee of those governments who is authorized to prevent, detect, or investigate criminal law violations or to supervise sentenced offenders. You would need to show adequate proof of eligibility, as determined by the Secretary. This would take effect upon enactment.
