In plain English
Rep. Gregory F. Murphy (R-NC) sponsored this bill to allow the National Park Service to extend long-term leases of federal property within national parks without competitive bidding if the current lessee has held the lease for at least five years, is in compliance with its terms, and the Park Service determines the extension serves the park's best interests. The bill does not address other topics beyond lease extension authority.
