in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Within 5 years, federal land managers must survey their outdoor recreation facilities for accessibility and post the results online. The survey must cover camp shelters, boat ramps, hunting and archery sites, picnic areas, and similar facilities. Within 7 years, they must also find ways to update accessibility signs and information at those sites.

(a) Assessment. Within 5 years after January 4, 2025, the agency in charge ("the Secretary concerned") must do two things. First, it must fully review the outdoor recreation facilities on the federal lands and waters it manages, to find out how accessible they are. The review must follow the rules in the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and a related disability-rights law (29 U.S.C. § 794). It must cover: (A) camp shelters, camping facilities, and camping units; (B) boat launch ramps; (C) hunting, fishing, shooting, or archery ranges or locations; (D) outdoor constructed features; (E) picnic facilities and picnic units; and (F) any other outdoor recreation facilities the agency decides to add. Second, the agency must publish information about these accessible opportunities online — using prominently displayed links — on the websites of each federal land management agency and each of its individual units and subunits. (b) Inclusion of current assessments. When doing the review, the agency may rely on assessments or data it already gathered before January 4, 2025, if that is practical, instead of starting from scratch. (c) Public information. Within 7 years after January 4, 2025, the agency must identify ways to create, update, or replace signage and other public information — including on web pages — about accessibility at the facilities covered by the review in subsection (a). This work must stay consistent with the same accessibility laws named in subsection (a).
