Bill Summary
A bill to redesignate the Hulls Cove Visitor Center at Acadia National Park as the George J. Mitchell Visitor Center.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to rename the Hulls Cove Visitor Center, located in Bar Harbor, Maine at Acadia National Park, to the "George J. Mitchell Visitor Center". The redesignation applies not only to the current visitor center but also to any future visitor center that may be constructed in its place and serves as the primary visitor center for the park. If passed, all future official references to this visitor center in laws, maps, regulations, documents, or other records would automatically use the new name, honoring George J. Mitchell, a prominent political figure from Maine who served as a U.S. Senator from 1980 to 1995 and was known for his significant legislative achievements and diplomatic efforts. The bill is a straightforward act of recognition for Mitchell's contributions to the state of Maine and potentially to the national park system, using the renaming of the visitor center as a form of commemorative tribute.
