The National Archives Protection Act prohibits the Archivist of the United States from closing any Federal records center or archive facility that was established before the bill's enactment. The legislation also prevents the Archivist from imposing unreasonable restrictions on public access to these facilities and bars reconstruction, conversion, or rehabilitation projects that would require relocating records for more than 180 days. This bill protects existing public access to Federal records and archives maintained across the country. The measure applies to all Federal records centers and archive facilities currently in operation and is sponsored by a bipartisan group of House members.
