This bill will secure and protect the national parks of America and will ensure that our natural beauty is protected for generations to come.

This bill,HB-11, was written with the enviroment in mind.

This bill is to protect the natural beauty of America's forests and parks. This bill will ensure that our forests will be preserved for years to come. It will introduce protective plans and will seta minimal limit on how much natural park space there has to be at any given time. It will also limit the number of roads and structures in and around national parks

Terms and Benifits - The K.R.N.P.P.P. will protect all the Nation's National Parks from Human Impact, Buildings, roads and other harmul things to the National parks. First, Many more ranger stations will be built in and around the National parks. This will benifit us in many ways. One way is it will act as a threat to the victims if they decide to build something inside. Secondly, If Building occurs inside of the National Park, The rangers have to power to fine or imprision the victim. Thirdly, The increase in ranger stations will help hikers inside of the National park. If a Hiker were to get lost or seperated, there will be a station nerby. Finally, The rangers will be able to watch over the animals and wildlife inside the park. The new stations will not be any harm to the animals and plants inside the national parks. they will be limited to at most the size of 18x18 excluding the main stations. All of the stations will be built with natural items that do not and have not harmed the environment. The stations will be powerd by the solar panels on the roof. Also, Roads will not be permited within 2 miles of the perimiter of the park, unless appoved by the Naional Park Service. Also, if a national park needs more trees the goverment will purchase native species from a local tree farm to help strenghten the natural enviroment.

Fiscal Impact- By stoping the production of roads around National Parks we will save, 10,000 to 20,000 dollars per mile of road. Also we will need to pay the new park rangers. It will cost about $9.89 to $18.75 per hour. The cost for the production of a new station will cost 1,000 to 2,000 dollars. The cost for one stations solar panels will cost about 5,000 to 10,000 dollars. This will be mostly be the National Parks Service, all other fundings will be from taxes
