Amends Fiscal Year 2026 annual appropriations act to reassign appropriation for Borinqueneer Park from City of Perth Amboy to Borinqueneers Park Education Alliance.
This bill reassigns $350,000 currently allocated to the City of Perth Amboy for "Borinqueneer Park Improvements" to the Borinqueneers Park Education Alliance, a New Jersey nonprofit. The funds remain unchanged within the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations act, with no new funding added. The nonprofit is established to support a memorial honoring the 65th Infantry Regiment (nicknamed "The Borinqueneers"), a segregated Puerto Rican unit awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2016. The change only shifts the recipient of existing funds, directly affecting the nonprofit's ability to advance the memorial project.
