Promoting Accessibility on Federal Lands Act of 2024
The Promoting Accessibility on Federal Lands Act of 2024 requires the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to conduct a comprehensive assessment of accessibility for individuals with disabilities at federal trails, campsites, boat docks, and outdoor recreation facilities on National Forest System lands and public lands. Within 180 days of receiving funding, these assessments must be completed and made publicly available on the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior websites. Existing accessibility evaluations conducted before the bill's enactment may be incorporated into the required assessment. This legislation establishes a standardized process to document current accessibility conditions without mandating immediate facility modifications.
