Camp Nelson National Monument Boundary Expansion Act

This bill changes the name of “Camp Nelson Heritage National Monument” to “Camp Nelson National Monument” and allows the federal government to add about 132 acres to the site near Nicholasville, Kentucky. This gives the National Park Service room to include more land within the monument’s boundary. Any old references to the former name would legally count as the new name.

Key points

• What changes: The monument’s name is updated; the Secretary of the Interior is allowed to acquire about 132 acres shown on an official map to expand the monument boundary.
• Who is affected: Park visitors, local communities, and federal land managers at Camp Nelson National Monument.
• Where: Nicholasville, Kentucky.
• When: The name change and authority to add land take effect when the bill becomes law; older references will be treated as the new name.
