Prohibits the use of federal funds to close, realign, or change the status of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island, South Carolina, and bars using federal money for any planning or activities related to such a closure or realignment. It also records congressional findings that Parris Island has been the Marine Corps’ home since 1891, is historically and culturally important, and will remain the physical home of the Eastern Recruiting Region.

The law therefore limits Department of Defense and other federal agencies from spending federal dollars on actions that would shut down or alter the mission or status of Parris Island, and it emphasizes continued investment to keep the installation operating for recruit training and related missions.
