The bill titled “Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument Access Act” aims to improve access to the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine. It allows the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land around the monument, but not through eminent domain, to expand its boundaries...
Simple Explanation
The bill wants to make it easier for people to visit and enjoy a special park in Maine called Katahdin Woods and Waters by letting the government buy some land around it, but only if the landowners agree to sell. It also makes sure that people can still do fun things like picking special plants, and that everyone learns about the park, while keeping everything safe and friendly for everyone, including local communities and tribes.
