SPF Act of 2026

The SPF Act of 2026 requires the Director of the National Park Service to submit a report to Congress within one year detailing options for providing free or low-cost mineral-based sunscreen and other sun protection items to park visitors. The bill cites rising skin cancer rates and public health data to support the need for better access to protective measures in national parks. The required report must evaluate potential environmental impacts, ensure products are usable for all skin tones, and propose strategies for increasing visitor awareness about sun safety. Additionally, the report must include specific legislative recommendations for Congress to consider when supporting these efforts.
