H.R. 9269: Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act

This bill would extend the legal authorization for the African American Civil Rights Network. In plain terms, the law that created this network currently has a time limit, and this bill would move that expiration date out so the network can continue operating for 10 years after this bill is enacted instead of ending sooner.

The African American Civil Rights Network is a federal program that helps preserve and recognize places, organizations, and other resources connected to African American civil rights history. By extending the authorization, the bill would allow the program to keep functioning without interruption for a longer period.

• It keeps the African American Civil Rights Network authorized for a longer period of time.
• It changes the current sunset period from 7 years after enactment to 10 years after enactment of this new bill.
• It does not describe any new grant program, enforcement power, or spending rule in the text provided.

What the bill does not appear to do

• It does not create a new agency.
• It does not change criminal law.
• It does not set out new eligibility rules or funding amounts in the text shown.
• It does not appear to mandate actions by private businesses or individuals.
