H.R. 4432, the Lanier Parks Local Access Act, modifies how the federal government uses user fees collected at recreation sites managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Specifically, it allows recreation fees collected at one location within a civil works project (such as a dam or reservoir) to be spent at any other recreation site or facility within that same project, rather than only at the specific location where the fees were collected. This change affects visitors to Corps-managed recreation areas and gives local managers more flexibility in how they allocate resources across multiple facilities at the same project. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines, instead amending existing cost-sharing provisions in the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 to expand how user fees can be used.
