• Cites the bill as the Wintergreen Emergency Egress Act and covers the right-of-way generally depicted as "Proposed Egress" on a map dated September 2024, near Milepost 9.6 of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
• Applies only after the Secretary reports to the House Natural Resources and Senate Energy and Natural Resources committees that an evaluation of alternatives not crossing Federal land has been completed, including whether existing trails can be converted to roads.

• Amends Section 2 of the Act of June 30, 1936 (16 U.S.C. 460a-3), which previously gave the Secretary discretion to issue such rights-of-way, by adding this mandatory requirement.
