Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Federal study and cooperation for museum

If enacted, the bill would let the Secretary of the Interior, working with Missouri, the City of Fulton, and Westminster College, enter cooperative agreements with public or private groups to protect the Landmark and provide educational and interpretive programs. The Secretary would be able to give technical and financial assistance only to entities that enter such cooperative agreements. The bill would also require a special resource study of the Landmark to evaluate national significance, consider alternatives (including National Park System designation), and identify cost estimates. The study would follow section 100507 of title 54 and report to two congressional committees not later than 3 years after funds are first made available. The bill would not itself appropriate funds.

Name America's Churchill Museum a Landmark

If enacted, the bill would name America’s National Churchill Museum at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri a National Historic Landmark. The designation would include the Winston Churchill Memorial that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The change would take effect upon enactment. The designation would not change who owns or runs the property and would not limit actions that property owners (including the College) may otherwise take.
