Greater Yellowstone Recreation Enhancement And Tourism Act
To amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate certain streams in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in the State of Montana as components of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB5102, aims to add specific streams within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in Montana to the Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This would provide these rivers with enhanced protections and recognition for their natural, recreational, and scenic values.
The proposed change would affect local communities, recreational users, and conservationists by promoting the preservation and sustainable use of these waterways. It could also impact tourism by highlighting the unique natural beauty and outdoor opportunities available in the region.
HB5102 was introduced on September 2, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources for further review. At this stage, the bill is in its early phases and will require committee approval before moving to a full House vote.
