Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and in addition to the Committee on Agriculture, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill amends federal law to require the National Park Service and other federal agencies to offer free admission to national parks and public lands on six specific days each year instead of leaving it optional. The designated fee-free days would be Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, the first day of National Park Week, Juneteenth, Great American Outdoors Day, National Public Lands Day, and Veterans Day. The bill aims to increase access to public lands for all Americans and encourage volunteerism and community service at these sites. Federal agencies would retain the ability to designate additional fee-free days beyond these six mandatory ones. This legislation affects millions of Americans who visit national parks and federal recreational areas annually, potentially expanding opportunities for lower-income families and others who might be deterred by entrance fees.
