What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Our Parks Act," proposes an amendment to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. It specifically directs the Secretary to waive entrance fees for certain federal lands. This waiver would apply to every unit within the National Park System and the National Wildlife Refuge System where an entrance fee is normally charged. The waiver would take effect on all Federal holidays listed in section 6103 of title 5, United States Code.
