Bill > A06468

This bill extends the deadline for transferring lands to the United States for the Gateway National Recreation Area from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The Gateway National Recreation Area is a national park located in New Jersey and New York, managed by the National Park Service. The original legislation from 1973 allowed for the transfer of certain lands to the federal government to establish this recreation area, and this bill simply modifies the time frame during which these land transfers can occur. By pushing the deadline two years further into the future, the bill provides additional time for local authorities or landowners to complete the process of transferring ownership of specified lands to the federal government for the purpose of expanding or maintaining the national recreation area. The change is straightforward and does not alter any other aspects of the original 1973 law.
