New rules for national monument creation and management
This bill changes how national monuments, especially marine ones, are created and managed. Citizens will have more say in decisions about these areas, as Congress and state authorities will need to approve their establishment. Additionally, any restrictions on public access to national monuments will require public input and Congressional approval, increasing transparency and public participation.
Key points
The President will need Congressional approval to create a new national monument.
Establishing marine national monuments will require approval from governors and state legislatures of nearby areas.
