Report on Special Recreation Permits and Access for Environmental Justice Communities.

This law requires the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to produce a report analyzing how special recreation permits affect access to federal lands for environmental justice communities (low-income, minority, or Tribal groups). The goal is to identify existing barriers and recommend policy changes to make public lands more accessible and equitable for these underserved populations. This study sets the stage for future actions aimed at increasing recreational opportunities for all citizens.
