Key Points

This bill officially names a new site in Jacksonville, Florida, as the National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum. It honors the 142,000 Americans held as prisoners of war and the 82,000 who remain missing since World War II.
The museum is being built on a 26 acre property. It will feature interactive exhibits and educational programs to teach the public about the history of these service members and their families.
To keep this national title, the museum leaders must send a five year budget and organizational plan to Congress within 90 days of the bill becoming law.
The government can take away the national title if the museum is not fully running within five years or if they fail to turn in their financial reports on time.
