Bill > S1674

This bill modifies the boundary of Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky by allowing the Secretary of the Interior to acquire approximately 551.14 acres of land in Edmonson and Barren Counties. The bill updates a previous law from 1942 by adjusting a monetary threshold of $350,000 for inflation using the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The new land, which is depicted on a specific map dated May 2025 and numbered 135/177,967, will be added to the national park. This boundary adjustment will expand the park's protected area, potentially preserving additional natural and historical resources associated with the Mammoth Cave region. The bill is formally titled the "Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025" and represents a routine process of park boundary modification that allows for strategic land acquisition to enhance the park's conservation and visitor experience.
