Bill Summary
State parks; Disabled Veteran's Passport. Expands the Disabled Veteran's Passport program to all U.S. veterans with a service-connected disability.

AI Summary
This bill expands the Disabled Veteran's Passport program to all U.S. veterans with a service-connected disability, rather than just those with a 100% disability rating. The passport currently provides free entry into state parks and a 50% discount on certain fees and rentals provided by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The bill removes the requirement for a 100% disability rating, making the program accessible to more veterans with service-connected disabilities.
