The bill renames a National Park Service unit and orders a study of expanding it. It redesignates the Salem Maritime National Historic Site as the Salem Maritime National Historical Park and provides that any existing legal reference to the old name is treated as a reference to the new one. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a boundary study evaluating whether to add to the park sites and resources in the Salem, Massachusetts area tied to maritime history, coastal defenses, and military history, including National Guard and militia activity. The Secretary must report results to the House Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee within three years after funds are made available. The study area includes the Salem Armory Visitor Center building and adjacent Salem Armory Park.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 4 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm in 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organization named: Federated Hermes, Inc. Listed as filed. It is every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
