This specific legislative action facilitates the placement of the memorial in a prominent location, ensuring its visibility and accessibility to the public.

Location of Commemorative Work

prominently featuredstraightforward

This section explicitly overrides a federal law (40 U.S.C. 8908(c)) that generally restricts the placement of new commemorative works in certain areas of Washington, D.C. Specifically, it permits the World War II Women's Memorial, previously authorized by Public Law 117-328, to be located within 'Area I' or 'the Reserve.' These areas are generally considered the most prominent locations for memorials on the National Mall, ensuring the memorial's high visibility and public access, despite the usual restrictions.
