Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill would change federal law to allow individual states to apply their own vehicle regulations on roads within National Park Service units and other federal park system properties. Currently, federal law controls how vehicles are used on these roads, but the legislation would transfer that authority to state governments. The bill defines "roads" as main-traveled surfaces open to motor vehicles that the National Park Service owns or controls, and it would require that state definitions of off-highway vehicles be followed as well. The measure would make violations of applicable state vehicle laws illegal within these federal park system units. The bill has no specified funding or implementation timeline and was introduced in June 2024 without additional cost estimates mentioned.
