S 3568 United States Senate · 118th Congress

American Battlefield Protection Program Enhancement Act of 2024

This bill updates the American Battlefield Protection Program to expand eligibility for preservation grants and improve reporting. It allows States, Tribes, local governments, and nonprofits - not just state/local entities - to receive funding for battlefield land acquisition and restoration. The bill clarifies that eligible sites must be identified in the existing Battlefield Reports (Civil War, Revolutionary War, and War of 1812 reports) and excludes "associated historic sites." It also requires the Secretary to submit updated battlefield condition reports to Congress every 10 years, starting two years after enactment.
