HR 3056 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Camp Nelson National Monument Boundary Expansion Act
To redesignate Camp Nelson National Monument, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire approximately 132 acres of land in Kentucky for inclusion in Camp Nelson National Monument. The bill redesignates the monument by removing "Heritage" from its official name, changing it from "Camp Nelson Heritage National Monument" to "Camp Nelson National Monument." The acquisition would expand the monument's boundaries to include the land depicted on a specific map titled "Camp Nelson National Monument Proposed Boundary Expansion Nicholasville, Kentucky." All federal references to the monument's previous name are updated to reflect the new name. The bill does not establish new management policies or allocate specific funding for the land acquisition.
