HR 1642 United States House · 118th Congress

Law Enforcement Officer and Firefighter Recreation Pass Act

This bill adds law enforcement officers and firefighters to the list of groups eligible for free annual passes to national parks and federal recreational lands. It amends existing law to require the Secretary to provide these passes at no cost to qualifying officers (who prevent/detect crime or supervise offenders) and firefighters (who suppress fires, including wildland fires). Eligibility requires providing proof of employment with a federal, state, local, or tribal government entity. The pass covers access to national parks and federal recreational areas, directly benefiting these public safety workers.
