Bill Summary
This measure would urge the President of the United States and Congress of the United States to immediately restore full and consistent funding and staffing for the National Park Service.
AI Summary
This joint resolution urges the President and Congress to fully restore funding and staffing for the National Park Service (NPS), highlighting the critical importance of national parks in California and across the United States. The resolution provides context by noting California's rich national park heritage, including nine iconic parks like Yosemite and Death Valley, and emphasizes the significant economic impact of these parks, which in 2023 attracted 36.2 million visitors who spent an estimated $3.2 billion and supported nearly 40,000 jobs. The resolution expresses concern about recent federal personnel decisions, including the firing of over 1,000 NPS employees, a hiring freeze, and potential 30-percent staffing cuts, which have led to reduced park hours, closed facilities, and diminished visitor services and safety. By calling for the restoration of funding and staffing, the resolution aims to protect and enhance the nation's natural and cultural heritage, support park rangers and staff, improve visitor services, and ensure the long-term sustainability and accessibility of national parks. The resolution will be officially communicated to key federal government officials, including the President, Vice President, congressional leaders, and California's congressional representatives.
