Bill information
Summary
To amend the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 and the Flood Control Act of 1968 to provide for provisions relating to collection and retention of user fees at recreation facilities, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The LAKES Act amends federal water laws from 1992 and 1968 to change how money is collected and kept at recreation facilities around lakes and waterways. These facilities currently collect fees from visitors but send money to the federal government. The bill would let facilities keep more of the money they collect locally. The bill is sponsored by a bipartisan group of lawmakers and is currently in the introduction stage, meaning it has just been formally submitted to Congress.
