                                 H.R.   1349
   A  bill to amend the Wilderness  Act  to ensure that the use of bicycles,
   wheelchairs,  strollers, and game carts is not prohibited in Wilderness
                       Areas,  and for other purposes

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                             on December 13, 2017


H.R. 1349 would clarify that certain nonmotorized vehicles, including bicycles, strollers,
and game carts can be used in wilderness areas administered by the federal government.
The bill also would clarify that the use of motorized and nonmotorized wheelchairs is
allowed in those areas. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would not affect the
federal budget.

Enacting H.R. 1349 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 1349 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1349 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Jeff LaFave. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
