Lifetime park pass for military survivors
If enacted, certain military survivors could get a lifetime National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass. You would qualify if you are entitled to a death gratuity under 10 U.S.C. 1475 or to Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) under 38 U.S.C. chapter 13. It would start upon enactment and follow the current pass program rules. This could save money on park entrance and some amenity fees.
