PARC Act
The PARC Act requires national parks that charge entrance fees to accept cash payments as a standard option. This applies to all National Park System units where fees are collected, ensuring visitors can pay with physical currency. The bill amends federal law to mandate this change, directly affecting park visitors who rely on cash and park staff responsible for payment systems. It does not alter fee amounts or other park policies, only the accepted payment methods. The requirement is now enforced across all fee-charging park locations.
