Summary

This bill expands the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park, transfers land jurisdiction, allows for land acquisition, makes a technical correction to a map reference, and redesignates the Cottonwood Visitor Center. Sec. 2, Expansion of Joshua Tree National Park: The boundary is adjusted to include approximately 20,149 acres of land shown on a specific map dated June 2024. Administrative jurisdiction over this land is transferred from the Bureau of Land Management to the National Park Service. The Secretary of the Interior may acquire land within the park by donation, purchase from a willing seller, exchange, or transfer, but land owned by California or its subdivisions may only be acquired by donation or exchange. Sec. 3, Technical correction: A map reference in a previous law is corrected by replacing a number. Sec. 4, Redesignation of the Cottonwood Visitor Center: The Cottonwood Visitor Center at Joshua Tree National Park is renamed the 'Dianne Feinstein Visitor Center', and all references to it in U.S. records are updated accordingly.
