Bill overview
This bill, the Yosemite National Park Equal Access and Fairness Act, aims to increase public access to the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and Lake Eleanor Basin areas within Yosemite National Park. It modifies the Raker Act by significantly increasing the annual rent San Francisco pays for using the reservoir from $30,000 to $2 million per year, adjusted annually for inflation. The collected rent will be used for wildfire mitigation and other park improvements, and the National Park Service is directed to administer these areas for public recreation and preservation of their scenic and historic features.
