Federal government would study creating a Florida Springs National Park.

This bill would direct the federal government to study if a large area in Central and North Florida should become a National Park. Officials would look at about 2,800 square miles of land. This includes many state parks and forests, to see if it's suitable and how much it would cost. Currently, there is no such study underway.

What Would Change

Currently, there is no federal study underway to explore creating a Florida Springs National Park. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of the Interior would be required to conduct a detailed study of about 2,800 square miles in Central and North Florida. This study would evaluate its potential as a National Park and estimate costs. A report would be due to Congress within three years of funding.
