Legislation· Dec 2024Sponsored by Mitch McConnell (R)
Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2023
Would have let the federal government buy about 980 acres to add to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky.
Tradeoff
Would have added about 980 acres to the park's southern edge. The bill summary gives no cost figure.
What's in it
Increases the deficit by less than $500,000 over 2024-2034 (CBO reports the effect as between zero and $500,000).
The small cost reflects a one-time land purchase of about $1 million from a conservation fund that already exists, and it mainly expands the boundaries of a national park in Kentucky.
Passed the Senate by on December 17, 2024. The House never voted on it before the Congress ended.
