What this bill would do

This bill, called the "Ski Hill Resources for Economic Development Act," amends the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996 to create a Ski Area Fee Retention Account. This account will hold ski area permit rental charges collected by the Secretary of Agriculture. The funds will be used for administering ski area programs, improving visitor experiences, and other related activities within the National Forest System.
