A BILL

To extend the authority for the establishment of a commemorative work to honor enslaved and free Black persons who served in the American Revolution, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “National Liberty Memorial Preservation Act”.

SEC. 2. Findings.

Congress finds that the period preceding the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States on July 4, 1776, offers the best conditions in ten generations to honor and preserve the contributions of enslaved and free Black soldiers and civilians to independence by the triumph of a permanent National Liberty Memorial representing deeds Congress on two previous occasions declared of “preeminent historical and lasting significance to the nation”.

SEC. 3. Extension of authority for establishment of commemorative work.

Notwithstanding section 8903(e) of title 40, United States Code, the authority provided by section 2860 of the Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (division B of Public Law 112–239; 126 Stat. 2164; 40 U.S.C. 8903 note) shall continue to apply through September 30, 2027.
