Summary#
This bill adds licensed foster family homes to the list of people who can receive free annual passes under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6804(b)(3)). It requires foster families to provide proof of eligibility for the pass. The change allows one free pass per foster family, and the Secretary may provide additional free passes if a family is too large to be covered by a single pass when visiting a site together.
What it means for you#
- If you are a licensed foster family (as defined in section 472(c) of the Social Security Act), you can get one free annual federal lands pass after showing proof of eligibility.
- If your foster family is very large, the agency may give extra free passes so the whole family can visit together.
- If you are not a licensed foster family, this bill does not change your access or fees.
Expenses#
- The bill says the passes would be provided "at no cost" to eligible foster families.
- No publicly available information on estimated costs to the federal government, budget changes, or funding sources is included in the bill text.
