Bill Summary

A bill to designate a mountain in the State of Alaska as Denali.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to officially rename a mountain located in Alaska, specifically at the coordinates 63°04'12" North, 151°00'18" West, from its previous name to "Denali". The bill mandates that all future references to this mountain in any official United States government documents, including laws, maps, regulations, and records, must use the name "Denali". This designation effectively changes the official nomenclature for the mountain, which is notably the highest peak in North America and has cultural significance to the Alaska Native Athabascan people. By legally establishing "Denali" as the mountain's official name, the bill aligns with efforts to recognize indigenous place names and cultural heritage. The legislation is straightforward, requiring no complex implementation steps beyond ensuring future references use the new name.
