§101512 Conveyance to States of roads leading to certain historical areas

Summary

The federal government can transfer ownership of any U.S.-owned or controlled road that leads to a national cemetery, national military park, national historical park, national battlefield park, or national historic site managed by the Park Service to a State, county, city, or their agencies. The word "State" includes a State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Before the transfer, the receiving State, county, or city must send the Secretary a written statement saying it will accept and maintain the road. The Secretary can set reasonable conditions. Once the deed is signed and delivered, any legal control the State had given to the United States over the road goes back to the State.
