National Park System Long-Term Lease Investment Act
This bill allows the National Park Service to extend certain existing park leases without following standard renewal rules, if the leaseholder has held the lease for at least five years and is in compliance with all terms. The Secretary of the Interior must determine that extending the lease benefits park management. The bill requires updating federal regulations within 90 days to formalize this change. It directly affects private businesses and operators leasing land within national parks.
