A bill to amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage Preservation Act of 1992 to adjust the boundary of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, and for other purposes.
Summary
SB2434 would amend the Dayton Aviation Heritage Preservation Act of 1992 to expand the boundary of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. Specifically, it adds approximately one acre of land in Dayton, Ohio, to the park boundary, as shown on a February 2023 map titled “Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park Proposed Boundary Addition.” The bill is narrowly focused on this site-specific boundary adjustment and does not create a broader new program or regulatory framework.
The measure would update federal law governing the park by revising 16 U.S.C. 410ww to include the additional parcel within the park’s authorized boundary. If enacted, the change would affect the National Park Service’s management responsibilities for the park and could influence preservation, interpretation, and land-use treatment of the added acreage. The bill is limited in scope and appears intended to align the statutory boundary with an identified property addition in Dayton.
Impact
The bill would amend federal statute governing the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park to incorporate an additional approximately one-acre parcel into the park boundary. This would expand the area subject to National Park Service oversight and preservation purposes under the Dayton Aviation Heritage Preservation Act of 1992, potentially affecting land management, historic preservation, and any future acquisition or administrative actions related to the added site.
Sentiment
Based on the available context, the bill appears to have a neutral to favorable reception, with no recorded votes or committee objections in the provided materials. It was introduced by Senators Husted and Moreno and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, suggesting it is being handled as a routine, localized park boundary adjustment rather than a controversial policy measure.
Contention
No specific points of contention are reflected in the provided transcripts or voting history, and none are available in the record supplied. If any concerns were to arise, they would likely center on the implications of adding land to a national historical park, including federal land management, preservation priorities, or the exact parcel to be included, but those issues are not documented here.
