The bipartisan, SEMA-backed America’s Outdoor Recreation Act of 2023 (AORA), S. 873, was reintroduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and John Barrasso (R-WY), the organization announced.
The bill would require federal land management agencies to increase opportunities for motorized and non-motorized access to public lands, SEMA said, and includes provisions to streamline the process and expenses associated with obtaining special recreation permits.
