Protect our Parks Act of 2025
This bill requires the National Park Service (NPS) to fully staff all park units within a reasonable timeframe using existing funds, prioritizing visitor safety, resource protection, and filling all maintenance positions. It specifically mandates reinstating NPS employees who were involuntarily terminated between January 20 and February 25, 2025. The bill also allows the NPS to continue ongoing projects funded under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, Great American Outdoors Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. These provisions directly affect NPS staff, park visitors, and the operational capacity of national parks.
