Effects
During the initial four-year period of the Great American Outdoors Act National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (GAOA LRF), over 3,000 distinct resources were set to undergo enhancement projects, accounting for over 2.4 percent of the combined asset portfolio managed by these agencies. These projects span across all 50 states, including the District of Columbia and various U.S. territories. These endeavors aim to tackle crucial maintenance requirements in national parks, national wildlife refuges, other public lands, and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE)-supported schools. Another effect of the GAOA is an increase in economic support for local communities. Since 2021 these projects have provided over seventeen thousand jobs and contributed a yearly average of $1.8 billion dollars to local economies.

Work on the legislation paragraph
The bill passed the Senate on June 17 by a vote of 73–25. On July 22, the amended bill was passed by the House on a bipartisan vote of 310–107. On the same day, Secretary of the Interior, David Bernhardt, announced, "I’ve designated August 4th as Great American Outdoors Day and waived entrance fees to celebrate the passage of this historic conservation law."

However, after the legislation was passed, Order no. 3388 was passed which was deemed to have weakened the effects of the GAOA.

However, on November 9, 2020, Trump's Interior Secretary David Bernhardt implemented a rule which would give local authorities a veto over LWCF acquisitions, which critics said would significantly weaken the impact of the legislation. The Trump administration also proposed significantly fewer projects than the legislation called for. These rules and restrictions were reverted by the Biden administration on February 11, 2021.
