# Scarper Ridge Golden Gate National Recreation Area Boundary Adjustment Act Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would adjust the boundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California by adding land known as Scarper Ridge to the protected recreation area. The adjustment would expand the park's geographic footprint and potentially add new land available for public recreation and conservation purposes. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects California residents and visitors who use the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, as well as any private landowners whose property would be included in the boundary expansion. It could also impact local municipalities and state agencies involved in managing the expanded park area. **Key provisions and current status:** While specific acreage and boundary details aren't provided in this summary, boundary adjustment bills typically authorize the National Park Service to incorporate additional lands, which may involve land acquisition, conservation agreements, or transfer of existing federal property.
