Legal Ledger Brief: Trump signs GAO Act into law

President Donald Trump signed the Great American Outdoors (GAO) Act August 4 at a White House signing ceremony.

The bill provides $900 million a year in permanent funding to the Land and Water Conservation Fund and will allocate $9.5 billion to restore facilities and infrastructure in national parks and public lands.

Agricultural groups have denounced the bill, calling it an “irresponsible way to fix a very real problem.”
