National Historic Preservation Act Amendments Act of 2005

H.R. 3446, the National Historic Preservation Act Amendments Act of 2005, seeks to extend federal funding for the Historic Preservation Fund through 2011 to support the protection of American heritage sites. The bill would update the leadership structure of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and allow it to partner more easily with other federal agencies to manage grants and administrative tasks. For citizens, these changes are intended to make the management of national historic sites more efficient and ensure that preservation programs are regularly evaluated for their effectiveness.
