Technical Cleanup for National Parks, Historic Preservation, and Recreation Laws

This is a technical bill designed to clean up and organize the laws governing national parks, historic preservation, and outdoor recreation programs (Title 54 of the U.S. Code). It corrects errors from previous codification efforts, ensuring that programs like urban park recovery and historic site maintenance have a clear and accurate legal foundation. The changes primarily affect how federal agencies manage these resources, not the public's access or use.
Key points
Corrects technical errors and updates legal references across various titles of the U.S. Code related to historic preservation and national parks.
Revives certain sections of the National Historic Preservation Act that were inadvertently repealed, ensuring continuity in historic conservation efforts.
Clarifies that land acquisition for historic battlefields must be made only from willing sellers, protecting private property rights.
