Bill Summary

A BILL To redesignate Camp Nelson National Monument.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to rename the Camp Nelson Heritage National Monument to simply Camp Nelson National Monument by amending a previous law (the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act). Specifically, the bill removes the word "Heritage" from the monument's official name in all existing references, which means that any future legal documents, maps, regulations, or other records will use the new name. This is a technical change that does not alter the monument's status, boundaries, or mission. Camp Nelson is a historic site in Kentucky that was originally a Union Army camp and recruitment center during the Civil War, particularly significant for its role in recruiting and training African American soldiers, and later became a national monument to preserve this important historical location. The bill ensures that all future references will consistently use the simplified name "Camp Nelson National Monument" instead of the previous "Camp Nelson Heritage National Monument".
