What a yes vote endorsed
Law Enforcement Officer and Firefighter Recreation Pass Act
What this does
This bill amends the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to make the annual National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass available at no cost to law enforcement officers and firefighters. That free pass already went to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents, and the bill keeps them eligible while adding the two new groups. Recipients must provide adequate proof of eligibility as determined by the Secretary. The bill defines a firefighter as a government employee who does work directly related to suppressing fires, including wildland fires, and a law enforcement officer as a government officer, agent, or employee authorized to prevent, detect, or investigate criminal law violations or to supervise sentenced offenders.

Reported lobbying
At least
1
organization named this measure in a lobbying filing.
A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 6 quarterly reports filed by 1 registered lobbying firm in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so an organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. They carry no per-bill dollar figure and no position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organization named
- PEACE OFFICERS RESEARCH ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA
Listed as filed. It is every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The pull came up 2 short in 2025 Q4 and 7 short in 2026 Q2 against the register's own count, so those quarters are the filings posted rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
