Eligible law enforcement officers and firefighters could get a free yearly pass to national parks and other federal recreation lands. They would have to prove they qualify under rules set by the Secretary who runs the pass program.
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: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Latest action on S. 3456: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects law enforcement officers and firefighters who visit national parks or other federal recreation sites. Eligible workers could save the cost of a yearly pass. Federal land agencies would have to check proof of eligibility and issue more free passes. Visitors who do not fit the listed groups would not get a new benefit from this bill.
Why this matters: The bill could make visits to national parks and other federal outdoor areas cheaper for many public safety workers. That could make it easier for them and their families to use these places for rest, exercise, and time outdoors. It also expands a free-pass benefit, so federal land agencies may issue more free passes and collect less fee money. The bill does not say how much money agencies might lose.
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.
