The House of Representatives next month will debate and may seek to amend the Great American Outdoors Act, a proposal that would inject billions to maintain neglected national parks and permanently fund land and water conservation efforts, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said.
“The House will consider the Great American Outdoors Act under a rule on the floor during the work period at the end of July. This bipartisan bill, which passed the Senate by a vote of 73–25, will permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and address the maintenance backlog at our national parks,” Hoyer said June 22 in a statement.
