Congress is considering a change to the Wilderness Act:

It would appear the Park Superintendent/NPS could still forbid them, which is still what they do in the 'non-wilderness' areas as well (Rock Harbor, etc) with exception of Rollerblades and maybe children's bikes at Mott, if I call correctly.
Interesting the proposed wording doesn't include allowing wheeled portage devices, which I could see as being one thing the NPS might consider if the law was changed to permit them.
