Mount Rushmore Protection Act
The Mount Rushmore Protection Act prohibits federal funding for any changes to the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, including altering, destroying, or removing its carved faces or features. It specifically bans the use of federal funds to modify the memorial's existing names, faces, or other physical elements. The bill also formally designates the site as "Mount Rushmore" in all federal records, maps, and documents. This legislation directly affects federal agencies and government documents that reference the memorial, ensuring its current appearance remains protected from funded modifications.
