Bill in Congress to increase Senior park pass to $80

It is as simple as discounting the current $80 pass to $20 for seniors. No additional administrative work required.

Not true.
The senior pass has many benefits that the America the Beautiful Pass does not.
The annual pass gets you free entry into federal sites that charge an entrance fee (these are known as standard amenity fees). But it does not provide any discount on expanded amenity fees, such as camping. The Senior pass covers standard amenity fees as well as providing a 50 percent discount on some Expanded Amenity Fees charged for facilities and services such as camping, swimming, boat launch, and specialized interpretive services. In some cases where Expanded Amenity Fees are charged, only the pass holder will be given the 50 percent price reduction. The pass is non-transferable and generally does NOT cover or reduce special recreation permit fees or fees charged by concessionaires.
