The "America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act" aims to amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to require the Secretaries to issue guidelines for the use of off-road motorcycles on federal lands. This change will impact how off-road motorcycles can be used in federal recreational areas, potentially affecting access and usage regulations for such vehicles.
America the Beautiful Motorcycle Fairness Act
This bill allows an additional motorcycle, including passengers, to accompany a motorcyclist with an America the Beautiful Annual Pass when visiting federal recreational lands and waters.
In 2024, the Department of the Interior limited the pass coverage to one motorcycle per pass rather than two. The bill specifies that the pass must cover the entrance fee and standard amenity recreation fee for the passholder and any passengers on the motorcycle along with one additional motorcycle with its passengers.
The bill also codifies current Interior policy that the pass covers the fees for a passholder and any accompanying passengers in a noncommercial vehicle.
