Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would adjust the official boundaries of Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. While the specific details aren't available in the summary provided, boundary adjustment bills typically add or remove land from a national park's protected area. This could involve acquiring private land to include in the park, excluding certain areas, or realigning boundaries for management purposes. **Who It Affects:** The primary impacts would be on landowners whose property falls within the adjusted boundary area, visitors to Mammoth Cave National Park, and the National Park Service, which manages the park.
Local Kentucky communities near the park could also be affected depending on what lands are involved and how they're managed under the new boundaries. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Brett Guthrie (R-Kentucky) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. To learn the specific lands involved and the bill's exact provisions, you would need to review the full text on Congress.gov.
