What it does
This bill lets the Secretary of the Interior sign one agreement with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to host private events at Gateway Arch National Park, including inside park buildings like the Arch Visitor Center and the Old Courthouse.
This bill lets the Secretary of the Interior sign one agreement with the Gateway Arch Park Foundation to host private events at Gateway Arch National Park, including inside park buildings like the Arch Visitor Center and the Old Courthouse. The agreement runs for up to five years and must set a cap on events per month, require liability insurance that names the United States, and include terms to protect the park's resources. The Secretary must charge a fee to cover wear and tear from the events and may recover all costs, including security, utilities, and staffing. The National Park Service can still host its own events and issue permits to other groups. The authority to make and carry out the agreement ends seven years after enactment.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 2 quarterly reports filed by 1 organization lobbying for itself in 2025 Q3 and 2025 Q4. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
