To codify Secretary's Order 3434 of the Department of the Interior.

Key Points

• This bill would turn an existing Department of the Interior policy into a permanent law. The policy focuses on how federal agencies work with gateway communities, which are towns located right next to national parks and other federal lands.
• People living in these towns are most affected because their local economies and services often depend on the nearby federal land. The bill aims to ensure local leaders have a seat at the table when the government makes decisions about land use or tourism.
• It matters because these communities often face unique challenges like high housing costs and crowded roads due to visitors. By making this coordination a law, it ensures that future administrations cannot easily ignore the needs of these local towns.
