Describes the kinds of admission permits which may be purchased, including individual, group, and special free permits for the blind or disabled and those over age 62. Prohibits the Secretary from requiring an admission permit, or charging a fee, with respect to entry to any designated unit by any individual: (1) with a valid Golden Eagle Passport, Golden Age Passport, or any other lifetime admission permit issued under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965; (2) who has a valid migratory bird hunting and conservation stamp; (3) who is related to or accompanying an individual described in clause (1) or (2); or (4) who has been issued a special free permit as described in the preceding sentence.
