PARK Act

HR 7089, the PARK Act, prohibits national parks and wildlife refuges from waiving entrance fees to honor the birthday of a sitting U.S. President, unless that birthday falls on a federal holiday. This policy directly affects all national park units and wildlife refuges that charge entrance fees under federal law. The key provision bans fee waivers specifically for presidential birthdays, maintaining standard fees except when the birthday aligns with a designated federal holiday like Independence Day. The bill makes no changes to other fee waivers or park operations, focusing solely on this specific exception.
