Legislative Progress
The bill has already passed the Senate and supports a popular historical figure with significant local and state backing.
Key Points
- This bill allows the government to give up to $50 million to help build a new library for Theodore Roosevelt in Medora, North Dakota. The money will be used to create a place where people can learn about his life and work.
- To get the federal money, the library foundation must first raise $100 million from other sources. This includes money from the state of North Dakota or private donations.
- The government will also loan historical items and artifacts to the library. These items come from agencies like the National Park Service and are often not currently on display to the public.
- Federal money can only be used to set up the library, not to pay for its daily operations or repairs. The library will be run by a private group rather than the federal government.
