Our Parks Act
HR 6603, the "Our Parks Act," amends the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to require the Secretary to waive entrance fees at all National Park System and National Wildlife Refuge System sites that normally charge fees, on every federal holiday listed in 5 U.S.C. § 6103. This means visitors entering these parks on designated federal holidays like New Year's Day or Independence Day will not be charged an entrance fee. The provision directly affects park visitors on those specific holidays, eliminating a standard cost for entry. The change is automatic and applies to all qualifying federal holidays without requiring visitor action.
