"Biden Signs Bipartisan Outdoor Recreation Bill Into Law" [1]
"President Biden on Monday signed a bipartisan bill aimed at boosting outdoor recreation weeks after it cleared the Senate.
The bill, the Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences Act, will expand opportunities for Americans in public outdoor spaces like national parks and forests.
Its provisions include improved access for disabled people and military veterans, protections for rock climbing, better access to public lands and waters for recreational purposes and abridged permitting processes and reduced fees for small businesses that depend on public lands.
It also officially allows for the use of fixed rock-climbing anchors, resolving an earlier controversy in which some areas sought to restrict such anchors in national forest and park areas."
