This bill would prevent living politicians from appearing on the America the Beautiful pass, the annual permit that grants access to national parks and federal recreational lands. The legislation amends the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to explicitly prohibit using images of any living current or former elected official or political figure on the pass design. The bill addresses concerns that featuring politicians on these passes could be seen as partisan or promotional, ensuring the pass remains nonpartisan and focused on natural scenic imagery instead. No specific funding is allocated in the bill, as it primarily imposes a design restriction on the National Park Service's pass program. The measure was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
