Route 66 National Historic Trail Designation Act
Active
Passed Senate on Nov 12, 2026
Bill Intelligence
The bill, "Route 66 National Historic Trail Designation Act," aims to designate the Route 66 National Historic Trail. This designation would encompass the trail's historical alignment from 1926 to 1985, stretching nearly 2,400 miles from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California. The Secretary of the Interior would administer the trail, respecting its unique nature and conducting meaningful consultation with affected Indian Tribes. The acquisition of land for the trail would be subject to limitations, and the designation would not create a buffer zone or affect energy development. Additionally, there would be no new authorities or permits required for the designated trail, ensuring existing authority for easements and rights-of-way remains unchanged.

Unanimous Consent
Unanimous Consent
A senator may request unanimous consent on the floor to set aside a specified rule of procedure so as to expedite proceedings. If no Senator objects, the Senate permits the action, but if any one senator objects, the request is rejected. Unanimous consent requests with only immediate effects are routinely granted, but ones affecting the floor schedule, the conditions of considering a bill or other business, or the rights of other senators, are normally not offered, or a floor leader will object to it, until all senators concerned have had an opportunity to inform the leaders that they find it acceptable.
