HR 4467 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.
Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act
Summary
The Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act directs the Secretary of the Interior to transfer approximately 7.43 acres of federal land within Vicksburg National Military Park to the State of Mississippi at no cost. The transferred land, consisting of two separate parcels, must be used by the state to facilitate public access to the park and enhance the visitor experience in a manner consistent with the park's interpretative mission. The act modifies the park's boundary to exclude the conveyed land and authorizes the Secretary to impose restrictions on how the land is used to protect park resources and the visitor experience.
