AI Summary

This bill, the Route 66 National Historic Trail Designation Act, amends the National Trails System Act to designate the historic Route 66 as a National Historic Trail. The trail would extend approximately 2,400 miles from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California, and would be administered by the National Park Service. The bill prohibits the U.S. government from acquiring land or interests in land outside of federally managed areas without the consent of the owner, and limits the land acquisition to an average of one-quarter mile on either side of the trail. It also specifies that the designation of the trail does not create buffer zones or prohibit, hinder, or disrupt the development, production, transportation, or transmission of energy.
