Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve Act

This bill would rename Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin as Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve, made up of a national park area and a national preserve area with boundaries shown on a 2024 map. Hunting and trapping would be banned in the park area except where allowed under tribal treaties, statutes, or executive orders, while hunting and trapping in the preserve area and fishing throughout would be managed the same way as before the change. The Secretary of the Interior would manage the site as one unit of the National Park System and would add signs on regional history and a copy of the law at the main visitor centers. The bill states that it does not affect tribal treaty rights or hunting, fishing, and trapping on private land.
