Creates the Route 66 National Historic Trail, celebrating its history and protecting landowners.
This bill would officially create the Route 66 National Historic Trail, honoring the famous road's history from Illinois to California. The National Park Service would manage the trail. It also includes clear rules to protect landowners along the route from forced land sales or new regulations.
Currently, Route 66 is not an officially designated National Historic Trail, meaning it lacks the specific federal recognition and administrative framework that other historic trails have. If this bill passes, Route 66 would become an official National Historic Trail, managed by the National Park Service, with clear rules protecting landowners from eminent domain and ensuring no new regulations or buffer zones are created around the trail.
