Bill > HR4467

This bill, titled the Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act, proposes to change the official boundaries of the Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi by transferring approximately 7.43 acres of federal land, specifically two parcels totaling 1.69 and 5.74 acres, from the Department of the Interior (referred to as the "Secretary") to the State of Mississippi without any cost. The Secretary will convey this land through a quitclaim deed, which is a legal document that transfers any ownership interest the government has in the property. Once this land is transferred, the park's boundary will be officially adjusted to exclude these areas. The bill specifies that the State of Mississippi must use this land to improve public access to the park and enhance the visitor experience in a way that aligns with the park's educational mission, and importantly, it cannot be used in a manner that negatively affects the park's resources or the experience of visitors, with the Secretary having the authority to impose any necessary restrictions on its use.
