A bill to require the Secretary of the Interior to repay States for amounts expended by States to operate units of the National Park System during a Government shutdown.

This bill requires the federal government to reimburse states for costs they cover when operating national park units during a federal government shutdown. Specifically, it mandates that the Secretary of the Interior repay states within 30 days after a shutdown ends for any state funds used to maintain park operations during the shutdown. The repayment applies only to states that spent their own money to keep parks open when federal funding lapsed. It directly affects states that manage park units under the National Park System during such funding gaps. The bill creates a clear, time-bound reimbursement process without altering park management policies.
