This bill requires the National Park Service to fill every open job, especially maintenance positions. The goal is to make sure parks are safe for visitors and that nature and historic sites are well-protected.
It orders the government to give jobs back to any National Park Service employees who were fired or forced out between January 20 and February 25, 2025. This would help restore the workforce to previous levels.
The plan ensures that major repair and construction projects already paid for by previous laws can keep moving forward. This includes work funded by the Great American Outdoors Act and recent infrastructure laws.
The Secretary of the Interior would use money that has already been set aside by Congress to pay for these staffing changes and projects. No new taxes or immediate funding increases are requested in this specific bill.
