Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve Act

National park designation typically increases federal funding for visitor services, infrastructure, and environmental management but also restricts extractive uses (logging, commercial hunting, trapping). Analogous recent designations include the 2019 conversion of Bears Ears National Monument to more restrictive management (resulted in reduced local hunting/fishing access and increased visitation by approximately 20% per local reports) and the 2014 establishment of Pinnacles National Park from a National Monument (increased visitation and surrounding community tourism revenue by an estimated 15-25% annually, though displaced some local hunters). Wisconsin already manages the site as Apostle Islands National Lakeshore under Public Law 91-424 (established 1970), so the practical changes are primarily the redesignation and the new split-zone rules. The National Preserve zone maintains current hunting/trapping access, limiting disruption to existing users in that area. Tribal treaty rights are explicitly protected, preventing the historical pattern of park designations that excluded indigenous peoples. No comprehensive economic impact study of this specific redesignation is cited in the bill text.
