To amend title 36, United States Code, to move the place of incorporation and domicile of the National Woman's Relief Corps to Illinois, to move the principal office of such Corps to Murphysboro, Illinois, and for other purposes.

H.R. 988 would relocate the National Woman's Relief Corps, a federally chartered organization, from the District of Columbia to Illinois. Specifically, the bill would move both the organization's place of incorporation and domicile to Illinois, and relocate its principal office from Springfield to Murphysboro. The National Woman's Relief Corps is a historical organization dedicated to preserving the memory of the Grand Army of the Republic and those who served during the Civil War, maintaining documents and records related to the organization and its members, and honoring Americans who have served in any war.

The practical impact of this bill on everyday citizens would be minimal, as it primarily affects the administrative location of a historical preservation organization rather than changing any laws or programs that directly affect the public. Citizens interested in Civil War history or genealogy who use the organization's archives and records might experience changes in how they access these materials, depending on how the relocation is implemented.
