A bill to extend the authority for modifications to the Second Division Memorial in the District of Columbia.
Summary
What This Bill Does
Extends through September 30, 2032 the authority from the fiscal year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act for modifications to the Second Division Memorial in the District of Columbia, notwithstanding the usual commemorative works expiration rule in title 40.
Who Benefits and How
Second Division veterans and memorial supporters benefit from more time to complete authorized memorial modifications. The memorial sponsor benefits because the authority continues past the ordinary expiration rule. National Capital memorial planners benefit from a clear new deadline. Visitors to the Second Division Memorial benefit if the project is completed.
Who Bears the Burden and How
National Park Service memorial staff must continue managing the authorization through 2032. The memorial sponsor must still satisfy design, review, fundraising, and construction requirements. DC-area planning bodies must keep the project in their review pipeline. Competing memorial projects may share limited review capacity.
