Bill > S650

This bill designates America's National Churchill Museum, located at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, as a National Historic Landmark. The bill provides definitions for key terms including the city, college, landmark, and relevant state, and authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into cooperative agreements with public or private entities to protect the historic resources and develop educational programs at the museum. The bill also mandates a special resource study to evaluate the national significance of the landmark, including assessing its potential for inclusion in the National Park System and exploring alternative preservation strategies. The study will require consultation with various stakeholders and must be completed within three years, with a report submitted to Congressional committees detailing the findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Importantly, the bill explicitly states that the landmark's designation will not prohibit property owners from taking actions they would otherwise be permitted to take, and will not affect the current administration of the museum by the state, city, or college.
