Single pass for federal and state parks: Outdoor recreation pilot program.
This law establishes a pilot program in the Southeastern US allowing citizens to purchase a single annual pass valid for both Federal and State parks and recreation areas. The goal is to simplify access to outdoor recreation. However, the program requires partnership agreements with states to ensure no net revenue loss for either Federal or State agencies.
Key points
Introduction of a single, annual 'Multi-entity pass' granting entry to selected Federal and State parks in the Southeastern Region.
The program is temporary (pilot) and requires partnership agreements with states detailing pricing, revenue sharing, and terms for discounted passes (e.g., for veterans and volunteers).
Federal authorities must study the program's outcome and recommend to Congress within five years whether to implement the system nationwide.
