Many police officers and firefighters could get a free annual pass to national parks and other federal recreation sites. They would need to show proof that they qualify.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Law Enforcement Officer and Firefighter Recreation Pass Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Latest action on H.R. 183: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects government-employed law enforcement officers and firefighters who want to visit national parks or other federal recreation sites. It could lower their cost by making the annual pass free if they prove they qualify. It also affects federal land agencies because they would need to check eligibility and issue the passes. Members of the Armed Forces and their dependents would keep their current free-pass access.
Why this matters: This bill could make national parks and other federal recreation sites cheaper for many public safety workers. That may help more law enforcement officers and firefighters use public lands for rest, travel, and family time. The bill could also reduce fee money collected by parks, but it does not say how much. Agencies may also need clear systems for checking proof of eligibility.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
