Camden National Battlefield Park Study Act

Key Points

• This bill requires the Department of the Interior to study whether the Camden Battlefield in South Carolina should become a new unit of the National Park System. The study will focus on the site of the 1780 Revolutionary War battle and other nearby historic locations.
• Experts will evaluate if the site is nationally significant and if it is practical for the government to manage it. They will also look at how much it would cost to develop, operate, and maintain the area as a national park.
• The study will explore a local partnership model for managing the land. This means the federal government could work together with state or local governments and private groups to run the park.
• The Secretary of the Interior must finish the study and report the findings to Congress within three years after funding is provided. The report will include specific recommendations on whether to move forward with the park designation.
