Summary
H.R. 743 would prohibit the U.S. Forest Service from charging permit fees to churches that use buildings or facilities located on National Forest System lands. This exemption applies specifically to religious or educational activities conducted within those structures. If passed, the bill would allow these organizations to utilize existing improvements on federal land for their programs without the financial burden of federal land-use fees.
