Bill > HR3993

This bill specifically prevents the Secretary of the Navy from renaming certain naval vessels that are currently named after notable civil rights leaders, social activists, and pioneering Americans, including Cesar Chavez, Medgar Evers, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Dolores Huerta, Thurgood Marshall, Harvey Milk, Lucy Stone, and Harriet Tubman. The legislation would override existing provisions in title 10 of the United States Code that might otherwise allow for vessel name changes, effectively preserving the current names of these ships as a way of honoring the legacy and contributions of these individuals to American society. By specifically listing these eight people, the bill ensures that their names remain connected to naval vessels, serving as a lasting tribute to their historical significance and impact on civil rights, social justice, legal reform, and equality in the United States.
