This bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a comprehensive study of the Camden Battlefield area in South Carolina to determine whether it should become a unit of the National Park System called "Camden National Battlefield Park." The study will assess the historical significance of the Battle of Camden (fought August 16, 1780) and related Revolutionary War sites, evaluate whether the area meets standards for national park designation, and explore different protection and management options. The Secretary must consult with federal, state, and local agencies as well as private organizations during the study process and must submit findings and recommendations to Congress within three years of receiving funding. The bill does not authorize any funding amounts or establish the park itself—it only requires the study that would inform a future decision about park designation.
