    This Act may be cited as the ``Law Enforcement Officer and

SEC. 2. NATIONAL RECREATIONAL PASSES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND 
              FIREFIGHTERS.

    Section 805(b) of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 
U.S.C. 6804(b)) is amended--
            (1) by amending paragraph (3) to read as follows:
            ``(3) Annual passes.--The Secretary shall make the National 
        Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass available, at no 
        cost, to--
                    ``(A) a member of the Armed Forces and their 
                dependents; or
                    ``(B) a law enforcement officer or firefighter,
        who provide adequate proof of eligibility for such pass as 
        determined by the Secretary.''.
            (2) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(4) Definitions.--In this subsection:
                    ``(A) Firefighter.--The term `firefighter' means 
                any employee of the Federal Government, a State, a unit 
                of local government, or an Indian Tribe who performs 
                work directly related to suppressing fires, including 
                wildland fires.
                    ``(B) Law enforcement officer.--The term `law 
                enforcement officer' means any officer, agent, or

                local government, or an Indian Tribe authorized by law 
                or by a government agency to engage in or supervise the 
                prevention, detection, or investigation of any 
                violation of criminal law or who is authorized by law 
                to supervise sentenced criminal offenders.''.
            Amend the title so as to read: ``A bill to amend the
