The Gateway Partnership Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into an agreement with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to host private events at Gateway Arch National Park, including in facilities like the Arch Visitor Center and the Old Courthouse. The agreement must include protective measures such as limiting the number of events per week, requiring liability insurance that names the federal government as additionally insured, and ensuring that private events do not interfere with public access to the park or degrade its resources and purposes. The Secretary can charge fees and recover all costs associated with the private events, including maintenance, administrative, and personnel expenses. The bill does not prevent the National Park Service from continuing to host its own events or issuing permits to other organizations for special events. This legislation affects the Gateway Arch Park Foundation and visitors to Gateway Arch National Park by creating a framework for private event hosting while protecting the park's public mission and resources.
