Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to prohibit the use of the image of living political figures on the America the Beautiful—the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Prohibit Partisan Park Passes Act," aims to amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, a law that governs fees for using federal recreational lands. Specifically, it proposes to add a new restriction to the "America the Beautiful—the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass," which is an annual pass that grants access to national parks and other federal recreational areas. The key provision is that the image displayed on this pass can no longer feature any living elected official or any other living political figure, thereby preventing the use of such images for partisan or political purposes on a pass intended for public enjoyment of natural resources.
