NCSL Supports EXPLORE Act

Outdoor recreation is a major economic driver in America, generating 5 million jobs in 2023 and 3.1% of all U.S. employees during the same time, many of which are in rural areas. It is vital that the federal government, in partnership with state and local governments, ensure that outdoor recreation access is available to all Americans for generations to come. The EXPLORE Act combines several existing bills with new concepts including improved broadband connectivity at developed recreation sites, online collection of recreation fees, federal collaboration with state, local and Tribal governments in identifying and assessing housing, municipal infrastructure and other needs of gateway communities to expand visitation to federal lands and waters, and more.
