Library of Congress Summary
The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.
8/1/2012--Passed House amended. (This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on July 31, 2012. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Enacts title 54 of the United States Code into positive law to be entitled "National Park Service and Related Programs." Makes conforming changes to existing law and repeals specified provisions of specified laws.
House Republican Conference Summary
The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
This summary can be found at http://www.gop.gov/bill/112/2/hr1950.
Summary
H.R. 1950 would make technical and conforming changes that establish title 54 of the United States Code as the sole title related to the National Park System.
Cost
Information from the Office of Law Revision Counsel indicates that the bill would make no substantive changes to the law; therefore, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1950 would have only a minimal impact on the federal budget. Enacting H.R. 1950 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1950 contains no governmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
