Senate passes bill to give millions more veterans free lifetime entry to national parks

WASHINGTON — The Senate approved a bill Monday to grant all veterans with service-connected disabilities free lifetime entry to America’s 419 national park sites.

The Wounded Veterans Recreation Act, which now goes to the House for consideration, amends the current eligibility standards for national park passes. The bill would grant the passes to millions more U.S. veterans.

Now, veterans must have a 100% permanent disability to receive free lifetime entry. If approved by the House, the bill would grant a National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass to any veteran with a disability rating through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
