Bill overview
This bill officially changes the name of the Salem Maritime National Historic Site to the Salem Maritime National Historical Park. It also directs the Department of the Interior to conduct a study to determine if additional sites and resources surrounding Salem, Massachusetts – including those related to maritime history, coastal defenses, and military activity – should be added to the National Park System as part of this park. The study’s findings and recommendations will be reported to Congress. This aims to expand the park’s scope and significance.
