Federal Place Name Changes: Removing Offensive Terms and Commemorations
This act aims to change the names of federal areas that contain offensive terms or honor individuals associated with discrimination. A special advisory committee will be established to collect name change proposals from citizens and Native American tribes, which will then be submitted for approval. This ensures public places reflect cultural diversity and promote dignity for all.
