This proposal aims to get every national park fully staffed so visitors are safe and services run smoothly. It tells the Interior Department to fill all National Park Service jobs, including all maintenance positions, using already approved funds. It also orders the agency to bring back workers who were involuntarily let go between January 20, 2025, and February 25, 2025. These steps should happen as soon as practical after the law takes effect .
It also lets the Park Service keep moving forward with existing, funded projects—like repairs, upgrades, and visitor improvements—under several current laws, including the Great American Outdoors Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act .
