Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal law so that families with a licensed foster family home can get a free annual pass to federal recreation lands, such as national parks. Families would need to show proof of eligibility as decided by the Secretary. Each family would be limited to one pass, but if the family is too large for one pass to cover when visiting a site together, the Secretary could provide additional free passes to cover entrance and standard amenity fees.
