Ski Hill Resources for Economic Development Act

This bill lets National Forest areas keep most of the rental fees they collect from ski area operators on their land, instead of sending all the money elsewhere. Between 48% and 60% of the fees must be spent in the same forest area where they were collected on things like managing ski area permits, providing visitor information, or reducing wildfire risk. Another 20% must be spent in that same area on things like repairing Forest Service buildings, restoring wildlife habitat, or search and rescue. The rest of the money can be spent by the Department of Agriculture at any National Forest location on activities listed in the bill.
