Celeste Maloy (UT-02) introduced the Semiquincentennial Tourism and Access to Recreation Sites (STARS) Act directing the Secretary of the Interior to designate Constitution Day as an entrance-fee free day at National Park Service sites in 2026 in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States.\n\nThe STARS Act encourages Americans to connect with the nation\u2019s history and natural beauty by making our national parks more accessible. The legislation highlights the role of public lands in telling America\u2019s story and honors the legacy of freedom, resilience, and patriotism that began in 1776.\n\n\u201cHow do you properly celebrate 250 years of freedom? Maybe the best way is to spend time in what Wallace Stegner called \u2018the best idea we ever had\u2019\u2014 our national parks. The STARS Act grants Americans access on Constitution Day next year,\u201d said Rep. Maloy.\n\nThe National Park Service manages over 400 sites across the United States, including historic battlefields, monuments, and cultural landmarks. Designating an entrance-fee free day in 2026 allows families and communities to celebrate this monumental milestone with greater access to these treasured places.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://maloy.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1628"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4687578659504652, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
