January 11, 2023 Landmark Legislation to Ensure Long-Term Stability for National Heritage Areas Signed into Law
Last week, on January 5, 2023, President Biden signed the National Heritage Area Act (S.1942) into law. This action followed the December 22, 2022 passage of the legislation by the U.S. House of Representatives by a bi-partisan vote of 326-95, after the Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent two days earlier. It was one of the last bills passed in the 117th Congress.
