What this bill would do

This bill is known as the "Prohibit Partisan Park Passes Act." It aims to amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. The primary purpose is to restrict what images can appear on the America the Beautiful—the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass. Specifically, it would prohibit the use of images of living current or former elected officials or other living political figures on these passes.
