Bill 118 s 5083, also known as the Every Kid Outdoors Extension Act, is a proposed amendment to the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act. The purpose of this bill is to extend the Every Kid Outdoors program, which aims to provide fourth-grade students and their families with free access to national parks and other federal lands and waters.
