What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Protecting Access to Recreation with Cash Act" or the "PARC Act," proposes an amendment to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. It specifically targets the National Park System. The legislation would require the Secretary of the Interior to ensure that any unit of the National Park System charging an entrance fee must also accept cash. This change is intended to mandate the acceptance of cash as a valid form of payment for these fees.
