Outdoor Alliance just informed us that the US House Passed the EXPLORE Act. Let’s find out more below!
Exciting news!! Yesterday, on a voice vote, House lawmakers passed the Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences (EXPLORE) Act, a first-of-its-kind bipartisan package of outdoor recreation policy to improve outdoor recreation on America’s public lands and waters.
The passage of this outdoor recreation policy package creates opportunities to improve how public lands are managed to enhance outdoor experiences for all. The Senate is expected to take up the bill in the coming weeks, as it has already introduced bipartisan companion legislation, America’s Outdoor Recreation Act (AORA) that has passed out of committee. Read more about the EXPLORE Act.
The EXPLORE Act includes many key bills that Outdoor Alliance and its partners have helped develop and refine alongside lawmakers. Additionally, 2024 happens to mark the 10th anniversary of Outdoor Alliance. Their work to methodically unite distinctly different types of human-powered recreation to become a true political force — and make its voice heard in Washington D.C. — is one of the major factors that has helped move this hallmark legislation forward.
As it turns out legislators do listen when people respectfully work together in numbers.
