This bill extends the authorization period for the African American Civil Rights Network, a program established under the National Park Service. The legislation changes the authorization timeline from 7 years to 10 years after the enactment of this new law, effectively renewing and extending the network's operational authority. The bill was introduced by Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina and Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The legislation does not specify new funding amounts in the text provided, focusing instead on extending the program's authorization to allow it to continue operating beyond its original expiration date. This extension would primarily affect the National Park Service and the various historic sites and educational programs that are part of the African American Civil Rights Network.
