Bill information
Summary
A bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to extend certain leases within units of the National Park System without opening the lease to bidding.
Plain-language summary
This bill allows the Secretary of the Interior to extend existing leases within National Parks without holding a competitive bidding process. Currently, when leases expire in national parks, the government typically opens them to bids from multiple interested parties. The bill would let the Interior Department renew leases with current operators directly. The bill is engrossed, meaning it has passed one and awaits action in the other.
