What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``American Battlefield Protection Program Amendments Act of the 2025'', aims to amend title 54 of the United States Code.

Additionally, the legislation directs the Secretary of the Interior to prepare studies of sites and structures tied to the French and Indian War and the Mexican-American War. These studies will assess the significance and threats to such sites and provide preservation alternatives. The bill also updates appropriation authorizations for specific grant programs through fiscal year 2035.
