Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025

# Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025 **What the Bill Does** This bill would adjust the official boundaries of Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. While the specific details of the boundary changes aren't provided in the summary, boundary adjustment bills typically allow the National Park Service to acquire additional land adjacent to the park or modify its borders. This could involve adding new areas to protect, removing certain parcels, or clarifying existing boundary lines. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect landowners near Mammoth Cave National Park, visitors to the park, and the surrounding Kentucky communities. Depending on the specific adjustments, some private property owners might see their land added to park boundaries, which could affect land use, property taxes, and access rights.

The National Park Service and local tourism could also be impacted by any changes to the park's size or features. **Current Status** As of now, the bill (S. 1674) is in committee and has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) in the 119th Congress. For the bill to become law, it would need to pass committee review, be approved by the Senate, pass the House of Representatives, and be signed by the President.
