The Protect our Parks Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of the Interior to fully staff the National Park Service and fill all maintenance positions using previously appropriated funds, with the goal of ensuring visitor safety and protecting natural and cultural resources across the national park system. The bill also requires the Secretary to reinstate any National Park Service employees who were involuntarily removed or terminated between January 20, 2025, and February 25, 2025. Additionally, the legislation allows the National Park Service to continue carrying out projects funded through existing laws, including the Great American Outdoors Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. The bill uses existing appropriated funds rather than requesting new budget authority, and it does not establish a specific implementation timeline beyond "as soon as practicable" after enactment.
