What this bill does
H.R. 10128 is a short bill that would give the force of law to Secretary’s Order 3434, a directive issued by the Department of the Interior on June 25, 2025. According to the bill text, that order concerns "strengthening coordination with gateway communities" — communities located near federal public lands such as national parks and other Interior-managed sites. The bill itself does not spell out the specific policies, procedures, or requirements contained in Order 3434; it simply states that the order "shall have the force and effect of law" if enacted.
Because the bill would make an existing executive-branch directive legally binding, it would primarily affect the Department of the Interior and its relationship with gateway communities near federal lands, as well as any local governments, agencies, or stakeholders involved in that coordination. By codifying the order, Congress would prevent it from being altered or rescinded solely through future administrative action, unless Congress itself changes the law.
The bill was introduced in the House on August 20, 2026, by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. It has not yet received a committee vote, floor vote, or Senate action, and no further legislative steps have occurred beyond introduction.
