Key Points

This bill would change the rules for the "America the Beautiful" pass, which is the annual card people use to enter national parks and other federal recreation sites.
It would specifically ban the government from using images of any living current or former elected official, or any other living political figure, on the front of these passes.
The change is intended to keep the passes focused on the natural beauty of the parks and prevent them from being used to promote specific political leaders.
This policy would only affect the design of future passes and would not change the price of the pass or which federal lands it allows you to visit.
