National Historic Preservation Amendments Act

The National Historic Preservation Amendments Act (H.R. 2817) extends the funding for the Historic Preservation Fund through 2023, ensuring continued financial support for the conservation of significant cultural and historical sites across the United States. The bill also clarifies the process for how federal agencies nominate properties for the National Register of Historic Places, requiring them to follow specific notification and documentation standards. For everyday citizens, this means more consistent federal support for local preservation projects and greater transparency in how the government identifies and protects historic landmarks in their communities.
