Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This bill establishes the Justice Thurgood Marshall National Historic Site in Baltimore, Maryland, as an affiliated area of the National Park System. The site is the former Public School 103, owned and operated by the Beloved Community Services Corporation, which will remain the management entity.
Liberals want stronger federal funding and program commitments.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill clearly and directly effects the substantive policy change of creating an affiliated National Historic Site: it identifies the property and boundary reference, designates the local nonprofit as the management entity, sets the Secretary’s limited role, and authorizes appropriations.

The Secretary of the Interior may provide technical assistance and enter cooperative agreements but may not acquire the school or assume overall financial responsibility.
Very limited scope, low controversy, and explicit limits on federal cost increase odds, but procedural hurdles and unspecified funding add uncertainty.
