introduced the Encouraging Public Service in Our National Parks and Public Land Act to restore and codify long-standing “fee-free days” at our national parks and other recreational lands
I will restore and codify long-standing fee-free days at national parks and other recreational lands.
Occurrences
Evidence
The article says the National Park Service's 2026 fee-free calendar is in effect with Flag Day added, while Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day are no longer fee-free days; it also says the changes are part of the Department of the Interior's broader pricing overhaul.
The congresswoman's House website says she introduced the Encouraging Public Service in Our National Parks and Public Land Act to bring back long-standing fee-free days at national parks and other recreational lands.
Assessments
Kamlager-Dove appears to have made a meaningful same-term legislative effort by introducing a bill specifically aimed at restoring and codifying fee-free days at national parks and other public lands. But the evidence provided does not show enactment, implementation, or any completed restoration traceable to her. The additional evidence instead suggests federal policy in 2026 moved away from some long-standing fee-free holiday dates, which cuts against a finding of delivery. Under the federal candidate-credit standard, this supports failed delivery with effort credit rather than full or partial fulfillment.
As of June 15, 2026, the promised outcome has not been achieved: the 2026 federal fee-free calendar still does not restore Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth, and the provided evidence indicates the policy moved in the opposite direction. But Kamlager-Dove did take a concrete federal step on June 11, 2026: her official House website says she introduced the Encouraging Public Service in Our National Parks and Public Land Act to restore and codify those fee-free days. Because she is still serving in federal office and has now materially advanced legislation aligned with the promise, this is best scored as unresolved rather than never. There is no delivered outcome yet, so timing of delivery is unknown.
