H.R. 1718 establishes the Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site at Public School 103 in Baltimore, Maryland, where the Supreme Court Justice attended elementary school. The site will be designated as an affiliated area of the National Park System and will continue to be owned and operated by the Beloved Community Services Corporation, a nonprofit organization that has already completed historic restoration of the building. The National Park Service previously conducted a special resource study in 2023 and determined the school met criteria for national significance. The Secretary of the Interior may provide technical assistance and financial support for marketing, interpretation, and preservation of the site, but will not acquire the property or assume overall operational responsibility. The bill authorizes necessary appropriations to support these efforts but does not specify a dollar amount or implementation timeline.
