House bill H.R.1957 was signed by the President Tuesday, August 4th and became law. While most of us were sheltering from Tropical Storm Isaias, this bill was signed into law establishing the “the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund”, to support deferred maintenance projects on federal lands. This is something that TU has been supporting throughout the bill’s journey through Congress.
You can find out more about the TU response here, along with a short video thanking our political allies.
If you would like to read the entire bill, you can find it on this link on the 116th Congress website.
An interesting side note about this bill, is that it was originally sponsored on March 28, 2019, by the late Representative John Lewis. RIP and thank you sir.
