Bill overview
The America’s Living Library Act establishes the America’s Living Library Project, a pilot program within the National Park System aimed at collecting genomic data from various species. This program, overseen by the Department of the Interior, will coordinate with several federal agencies, including the National Park Service, the Department of Agriculture, and the Smithsonian Institution, to sequence and catalog samples. The collected data will be stored in a publicly available database, excluding personally identifiable information, and integrated with existing scientific databases. The act also outlines funding and establishes a timeline for expanding the program to additional units of the National Park System and other federally managed lands.
