This section makes one motor-vehicle license work at both Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. A license issued for either park is automatically valid at the other. The Secretary of the Interior can still limit privileges in Kings Canyon to protect its wilderness character.

A motor-vehicle license issued for Sequoia National Park is also valid at Kings Canyon National Park, and a license issued for Kings Canyon is valid at Sequoia. But to preserve Kings Canyon National Park's wilderness character permanently, the Secretary of the Interior may, at his discretion, limit the kind and number of privileges he grants there.
