America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act

# America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act - Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill changes the rules for the America the Beautiful Annual Pass, which gives people access to federal parks and recreation areas. Specifically, it allows a motorcyclist with this pass to bring along a second motorcycle (with its passengers) when visiting these federal lands and waters. The pass would cover entrance and recreation fees for the main rider and their passengers, plus one additional motorcycle and its riders. The bill also officially confirms that the pass covers fees for a main pass holder and passengers traveling together in a regular vehicle. **Who It Affects & Background:** This bill primarily affects motorcycle owners and riders who use federal recreation areas.

The change came about because the Department of the Interior changed its policy in 2024 to limit pass coverage to one motorcycle per pass (instead of two). This bill would reverse that limitation, restoring what riders consider fairer access for group motorcycle trips. **Current Status:** The bill has passed the House of Representatives and is currently moving through the legislative process. It would need Senate approval and the President's signature to become law.
