Historic Preservation Enhancement Act

The Historic Preservation Enhancement Act increases annual funding for the Historic Preservation Fund from $150 million to $300 million starting in fiscal year 2025. It mandates that at least 40% of these funds go to State Historic Preservation Offices and 20% to Tribal Historic Preservation Offices each year, with automatic adjustments for growing tribal office numbers. The bill authorizes funding for specific programs including African American Civil Rights Initiatives, Equal Rights Grants, Survey Grants for underrepresented communities, and Paul Bruhn Revitalization Grants. It also establishes procedures for presidential allocation submissions to Congress and ensures funding continuity during government shutdowns through continuing resolutions.
