Bill Summary

AN ACT To redesignate certain facilities at Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park in honor of Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr.

AI Summary

This bill redesignates two facilities at the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park in New Jersey to honor Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. Specifically, the legislation renames the Great Falls Scenic Overlook Trail Bridge to "Bill Pascrell, Jr. Scenic Overlook Trail Bridge" and Overlook Park to "Bill Pascrell, Jr. Overlook Park". The bill also ensures that any future references in official government documents, laws, maps, regulations, or records will automatically use these new names. This type of commemorative legislation is common in Congress as a way to recognize the contributions of longstanding public servants, in this case honoring Bill Pascrell, Jr., who has represented New Jersey in the U.S. House of Representatives for many years and has been a significant advocate for the Paterson area. The bill does not change the physical characteristics or management of the facilities, only their official names.
