PARC Act
4/7/2025, 12:51 PMSummary of Bill S 1037
Bill 119 s 1037, also known as the "Cash Payments for National Park Entrance Fees Act," aims to amend the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act to mandate that units of the National Park System must accept cash payments for entrance fees. Currently, many national parks only accept electronic payments, such as credit or debit cards, which can be a barrier for visitors who do not have access to these forms of payment.The bill seeks to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their financial situation or access to technology, are able to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities offered by our national parks. By requiring the acceptance of cash payments, the legislation aims to make national parks more inclusive and accessible to all Americans.
If passed, this bill would have a significant impact on how national parks collect entrance fees and could potentially increase visitation rates among individuals who prefer to pay with cash. Supporters of the bill argue that it is a necessary step towards promoting equity and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the wonders of our national parks. As with any legislation, there may be potential challenges or concerns raised by opponents of the bill. However, the primary goal of Bill 119 s 1037 is to make national parks more accessible and welcoming to all individuals, regardless of their payment preferences.
