PARC Act

The PARC Act requires all National Park units that charge entrance fees to accept cash payments. It directly affects visitors who pay with cash and park staff managing fee collection. The key provision amends federal law to mandate cash acceptance as a standard payment method at every fee-charging park. This policy change ensures cash remains a valid option for park entry fees without altering fee amounts or park operations.
