Republican House appropriators rejected the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to the National Park Service in a spending bill released Wednesday.
In the fiscal 2027 Interior-EPA spending bill by the Appropriations Interior-Environment Subcommittee, lawmakers proposed a $42 million cut to the park agency instead of the more than $1 billion reduction that the administration laid out earlier this spring.
Interior did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Interior-Environment Subcommittee Chair Mike Simpson said the bill champions “policies that bolster domestic energy, promote critical mineral production, and ensure access to public lands.”
