This law renames the Salem Maritime National Historic Site to the Salem Maritime National Historical Park. It treats any existing legal reference to the old name as a reference to the new name. The law also requires the Secretary of the Interior to do a boundary study for Salem, Massachusetts and nearby areas. The study must evaluate whether places and resources tied to maritime history, coastal defenses, and military history (including National Guard and militia activity) should be added to the National Park System as part of the redesigned park. The study area specifically includes Salem and its vicinity and mentions the Salem Armory Visitor Center building and adjacent Salem Armory Park. The Secretary must send a report with study results, findings, conclusions, and recommendations to the House Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee within 3 years after funds for the study are made available. The bill was introduced by Representative Seth Moulton and was enacted on July 15, 2025.
No publicly available information about the total cost of renaming or the cost of the boundary study. The law sets a deadline tied to when funds are made available but does not specify amounts.
