A bill to extend the authority for modifications to the Second Division Memorial in the District of Columbia.
Summary
What This Bill Does
The reported bill extends the special statutory authority for modifications to the Second Division Memorial through September 30, 2033, notwithstanding the normal expiration rule for commemorative works in title 40. The introduced version used a 2032 deadline; the committee-reported text adds one more year. The measure does not approve a particular design or provide an appropriation. The memorial sponsor must still complete fundraising, design review, permitting, and construction requirements administered by federal and District planning bodies.
Who Benefits and How
Second Division veterans, their families, and memorial supporters receive an additional year in which the authorized modifications can be completed. The memorial sponsor benefits from reduced expiration risk, and visitors may gain improved interpretation if the project reaches construction.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The National Park Service and National Capital memorial reviewers must keep the project active through 2033 and continue required oversight. The memorial sponsor must comply with design, fundraising, permitting, and construction rules by the new deadline; competing projects may continue to share limited review capacity.
Key Provisions
- Extends the Second Division Memorial modification authority through September 30, 2033.
- Provides an exception to the ordinary commemorative-works expiration rule.
- Preserves all remaining design, fundraising, review, and permitting requirements.
