HR 1945 Passed both chambers

Sponsored by Robert Onder (R)

America's National Churchill Museum National Historic Landmark Act

Designates the America's National Churchill Museum in Missouri as a National Historic Landmark.

Tradeoff

Designates a historic site and enables Interior to help preserve it through cooperative agreements and a study. Requires a special resource study within three years to evaluate whether it should become a National Park unit.

What's in it

See official bill text

Minimal federal cost; exact amount not specified in abstract but characterized as negligible for National Historic Landmark designation and cooperative agreements.

The federal cost is minimal and covers only Interior Department administrative work to designate the landmark and conduct a study — the policy's primary effect is designating a historic site and enabling voluntary cooperative agreements with the museum, not a federal spending program.
