Star-Spangled Summit Act of 2026

This bill requires the Forest Service to give a special permit allowing a flagpole with an American flag to be kept at a spot called Kyhv Peak Lookout Point in the Uinta National Forest in Utah. The permit would last 10 years, be renewed as needed, and would not cost anything in land use fees. The bill also says the permit does not have to go through the usual environmental review process. The flagpole tradition started in 2000 when a scoutmaster and his scout troop began raising the flag there each year, but it was stopped after the Forest Service said a permit was needed for any structure on national forest land.
