This bill changes the official name of Rock Creek Park in the District of Columbia to "Rock Creek National Park." It updates two places in Title 40 of the U.S. Code by replacing the old park name with the new one. The bill also says that any federal law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record that refers to Rock Creek Park will be treated as referring to Rock Creek National Park.
If this bill becomes law, the park's official federal name will be Rock Creek National Park. References in federal statutes and records will use the new name. The bill text does not change park boundaries, how the park is managed, or funding for the park.
No publicly available information about costs or funding. The bill does not include new appropriations or specific spending instructions.
The bill describes the change as being made "in recognition of its nationally significant natural, cultural, and historical resources, and important recreational opportunities." This language explains the rationale given in the bill for the redesignation.
No publicly available information about opposition or opposing arguments in the bill text or metadata.
