Return Boundary Waters reservations to a lottery

Stauber introduced the LOTTERY Act to require the U.S. Forest Service to return Boundary Waters Canoe Area reservations for motorized and nonmotorized boats from a first-come, first-served system to the lottery system used before the change. The bill would have required the change by 2020.

Context: The proposal concerned the Boundary Waters Canoe Area reservation portal on recreation.gov. The passage does not establish whether the bill became law.

In their own words

The Letting Outdoor Tourism Thrive for Every Recreation Year (LOTTERY) Act would require the USFS to switch the current first-come, first-serve reservation system back to a lottery system by 2020.
