Protect our Parks Act of 2025

This bill aims to fully staff our national parks and keep park projects moving. Within 30 days of becoming law, the Interior Department must make sure every park has enough staff to keep visitors safe, protect nature and history, and fill all maintenance jobs. It also tells the agency to rehire anyone who was let go from the National Park Service between January 20, 2025, and the day the law takes effect. Existing park projects funded under recent laws must continue without interruption.

Key points:

• Who is affected: National Park Service workers, people visiting parks, and communities near parks.
• What changes: Parks must be fully staffed, all maintenance positions filled, and eligible former employees reinstated; current funded projects keep going.
• When: Actions must start no later than 30 days after the law is enacted.
