Posts - Bill - HR 4931 National Park System Long-Term Lease Investment Act
house 08/08/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to allow the Secretary of the Interior to extend existing leases within National Park units without requiring a new bidding process, provided the current lessee has complied with the lease terms for at least five years and the extension serves the park’s best interests. This aims to support long-term stability and effective management of park resources.

Extending leases without bidding could be efficient—if it doesn’t shortchange the public interest, that is.

Private investment with fewer strings is how we keep parks thriving without turning them into government money pits.

Less bureaucracy can be good, but I’m not sure if skipping competitive bids keeps the parks’ best interests front and center.

Maybe cutting red tape helps, but does this bill trade transparency for convenience in our national parks?

Long-term private gains on public treasures? Sounds like the parks are being auctioned off one secret lease at a time.

Why waste time in endless bidding wars when good tenants deserve a break? Efficiency matters more than hoop-jumping.

Skipping the bidding is just a fancy way to cozy up to corporate cronies while the parks pay the price.

Protecting public lands means openness, not backroom deals—this legislation locks out accountability.
