This bill, titled the "Prohibit Partisan Park Passes Act," proposes an amendment to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. Its central aim is to prohibit the inclusion of images of living political figures on the America the Beautiful—the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass, which grants access to federal recreational lands. The amendment specifically modifies Section 805(a)(2) of the Act, stating that the pass imagery may not feature any living current or former elected official or other living political figure. This measure is intended to maintain a non-political and unifying aesthetic for the national park passes, preventing the use of potentially partisan imagery.
