Key Points
- Extends one battlefield land-buying grant program so it can keep operating through 2035.
- Raises the federal match for two grant programs from 50% to 75%, so states, tribes, and nonprofits would need to cover less of the cost.
- Removes an older cost-sharing rule for battlefield interpretation projects, which could make it easier to modernize signs, exhibits, and visitor info.
- Sets authorization at $2 million per year through 2035 for battlefield interpretation and restoration grants.
- Directs the Interior Department to study important sites tied to the French and Indian War and the Mexican-American War, with input from states, tribes, and local groups.
