Bill > S1161

This bill redesignates the Salem Maritime National Historic Site as the Salem Maritime National Historical Park, which is primarily a name change that will require all existing references to the site to be updated accordingly. Additionally, the bill mandates a comprehensive boundary study to be conducted by the Secretary of the Interior over the next three years, focusing on evaluating the potential inclusion of additional sites and resources in the Salem, Massachusetts area related to maritime history, coastal defenses, and military history, including National Guard and militia activities. The study will specifically examine the Salem Armory Visitor Center building and adjacent Salem Armory Park as part of the potential expansion. Upon completion of the study, the Secretary must submit a detailed report to the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, which will include the study's results, findings, conclusions, and recommendations for potential park expansion or modification.
