Bottom line

The bill extends the legal authority for the African American Civil Rights Network to operate for an additional three years beyond its current sunset date.

What it actually does

This bill extends the authorization for the African American Civil Rights Network by amending existing law. It changes the sunset provision from 7 years after the original chapter's enactment to 10 years after the enactment of this specific bill, effectively adding three years to the network's operational authorization. This ensures the network can continue its mission of preserving and interpreting African American civil rights history.

Extension of Authorization for African American Civil Rights Network

prominently featuredstraightforward

This section amends Section 308404 of title 54, United States Code, which governs the African American Civil Rights Network. It replaces the original authorization expiration date, which was set for 7 years after the enactment of the chapter establishing the network, with a new expiration date set for 10 years after the enactment of this specific bill, the 'Renewing the African American Civil Rights Network Act'. This effectively extends the network's legal authorization to operate and receive support for an additional three years.
