§1 PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC CONFINEMENT SITES.

Summary

Creates a National Park Service program to work with people, governments, schools, and nonprofits to find, study, explain, protect, restore, repair, and sometimes buy historic confinement sites so current and future generations can learn from them and see the Nation’s commitment to equal justice. The Secretary must consult with state, local, and tribal governments and other groups to make rules for grants. Not later than 180 days after money is available, grants may be made under those rules, if funds are appropriated. Federal money may buy non‑Federal land only in five areas: Jerome; Rohwer; Topaz; Honouliuli (southern Oahu, inside H‑1 to the south, Route 750/Kunia Road to the east, Honouliuli Forest Reserve to the west, and Kunia town and Schofield Barracks to the north); and Heart Mountain. Buying land under this program does not make it a Federal designation or change private ownership. Grant funds must be matched 50 percent by non‑Federal sources. The program ends two years after the authorized funds are fully paid out to grantees.
