Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Encouraging Public Service in Our National Parks and Public Land Act," seeks to amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. The primary goal is to mandate specific fee-free days for entry into Federal recreational lands and waters. It changes the Secretary's authority from being able to provide free days to being required to provide them on certain dates. These required dates include Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday, National Park Week, Juneteenth, Great American Outdoors Day, National Public Lands Day, and Veterans Day.
