H.R. 2306: The Adams Memorial-Great American Heroes Act

The bill known as the "Adams Memorial-Great American Heroes Act" aims to extend the authority of the Adams Memorial Commission and provide funding for the memorial's development. Below are the key points of the bill:

1. Extension of Authority

The bill proposes to extend the deadline for the Adams Memorial Commission's activities from 2025 to 2032. This extension allows more time for the commission to carry out its functions related to the commemoration of American heroes associated with the Adams Memorial.

2. Funding and Financial Provisions

  • The bill authorizes up to $50 million in federal funding to support the commission's activities.
  • There is a requirement for a non-federal match, meaning that for every dollar of federal money allocated, an equivalent dollar must be contributed by non-federal sources.
  • No more than 4% of the federal funding allocated can be used for administrative costs, ensuring that the majority of funds go directly to the intended purposes of the memorial.

3. Compliance with Standards

The bill updates sections of existing laws to clarify that the establishment of the memorial will be governed by specific standards for commemorative works, as outlined in federal regulations.

4. Location of the Commemorative Work

The bill clarifies that the commemorative work associated with the Adams Memorial can be located within a designated area that has been mapped out by the Adams Memorial Commission. This area is outlined as "Adams Memorial: Eligible Additional Area." This provision allows flexibility in determining the exact placement of the memorial within the identified area.

5. Legislative Process

The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Moolenaar and co-sponsored by several other representatives. It has been referred to the Committee on Natural Resources for further consideration.
