Contact Congress about H.R. 6396: Historic Roadways Protection Act

The Interior Secretary could not use federal money to finish or carry out certain travel plans in Utah. Those plans affect how people travel on public lands, including roads and routes.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Historic Roadways Protection Act is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and groups connected to public lands in Utah. That includes federal land managers, Utah communities, recreation users, and people who depend on access to public roads and routes.
