SENATE CLEARS BILL FREEING UP FILMING IN NATIONAL PARKS

The measure was passed a day after a lawsuit was filed against the government
accusing it of censoring speech by making filmmakers pay to shoot in national
parks just because their work is commercial. It now heads to President Biden's
desk.

In a win for filmmakers, the U.S. Senate has given final approval to a bill
loosening restrictions around shooting in national parks without a permit.

The passage on Thursday, a day after a lawsuit was filed seeking to overturn
federal permit and fee requirements on free speech grounds, cleared the bill for
consideration by President Biden, who’s expected to sign the measure.

In a statement, Alexander Rienzie, the filmmaker who sued the government, said
the move will spur production from “outdoor filmmakers who struggled to navigate
the outdated and arbitrary permit system.” He added, “We’re deeply grateful for
the legislators on both sides of the aisle that stood up for free speech and the
rights of Americans across the country.”

AS RFK JR.



National Press Photographers Association President Carey Wagner called the
bill’s approval a “remarkable victory for the First Amendment rights” of
members, who sought protections for the “freedom to take pictures and film in
our parks and other federal lands.”

Under the measure, filming in national parks in places where the public is
allowed will no longer require a permit for productions involving fewer than six
crew members as long as it doesn’t impact other visitors or damage park
resources. It eliminates a provision mandating advance permission for filmmakers
intending to profit off of content they shoot.

A bill loosening permitting requirements passed the House in April. That
language was incorporated into another measure, the Expanding Public Lands
Outdoor Recreation Experiences Act, which passed by unanimous consent on
Thursday as the government hurtles toward a shutdown.

Filmmakers have been sparring with the government over federal permit and fee
requirements to shoot in national parks for years. In 2019, indie director
Gordon Price sued after he was issued a citation for filming without a permit in
public areas of the Yorktown Battlefield in Colonial National Historical Park in
Virginia. A federal appeals court held in that case that filmmaking in a
national park is not covered under the First Amendment, reversing his win at the
district court level.

The permitting scheme dates back to 2000, when lawmakers passed a law regulating
commercial filming on federal lands motivated in part by major studios shooting
in national parks. Fees are intended to provide a “fair return” to the
government based on the duration of the production, size of film crew, and the
amount and type of equipment involved.





Rienzie and Connor Burkesmith, represented by the Foundation for Individual
Rights and Expression, on Wednesday renewed the legal battle after they were
denied a permit to film an attempt to break the record for the fastest time to
ascend a mountain in Grand Teton National Park. They alleged violations of the
First and Fifth Amendments.

Central to the lawsuit was whether the commercial nature of a project qualifies
as a content-based restriction that violates free speech protections. It pointed
to “arbitrary distinctions” in the permitting regime requiring permission to
film video expected to be commercialized but not photography or content recorded
under “news-gathering activities.” It claimed that the framework encourages
overly discretionary decision-making by park officials to reject applications
for allegedly unpredictable reasons.

If a tourist, reporter and documentary filmmaker each filmed the same vista in a
national park using the same equipment, the lawsuit alleged, only the filmmaker
would be required to obtain a permit and pay a fee if the purpose was found to
be commercial and not news-gathering.

The regulations “do not serve any legitimate governmental interest in protecting
national park resources,” stated the complaint, filed in Wyoming federal court.
“A tourist recording video in a national park with a hand-held camera or cell
phone is not required to obtain a permit, but he may become subject to the law
if he later posts the video on YouTube, which pays some users for popular
content.”





That lawsuit is expected to be dismissed once the bill is signed into law.

National Park Service didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
