Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to waive entrance fees to national parks on Federal holidays, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act by requiring the Secretary of the Interior to waive entrance fees for national parks and wildlife refuges on all federal holidays as defined in Title 5 of the United States Code. Currently, these federal lands typically charge entrance fees, but under this proposed legislation, visitors would be able to enter these parks and refuges without paying on designated federal holidays, which include days like New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. The bill, known as the "Our Parks Act", is designed to make these public lands more accessible to Americans by removing financial barriers to entry during national holidays when many people have time off work and might want to visit national parks and wildlife refuges.
