H.R. 4931 — National Park System Long-Term Lease Investment Act
What it does
This bill allows the National Park Service to extend existing commercial leases within national parks for one additional term without competitive bidding, provided the lessee has held the lease for at least 5 years, is in compliance, and the extension serves park purposes. After one non-competitive extension, any future extensions must go through normal competitive bidding.
