Report on Recreation Access for Environmental Justice Communities
This bill requires federal agencies to prepare a report on how special recreation permits affect communities that often face greater environmental or health challenges. The goal is to identify barriers and propose solutions to ensure these communities have easier access to recreational lands, potentially improving their quality of life and health.
Key points
Federal agencies will study how recreation permits impact access to lands for low-income, minority, and indigenous communities.
The report aims to identify what facilitates and hinders recreational access for these communities, and propose policy changes.
Participation of recreation service providers in data collection for the report is voluntary and will not affect their permits.
