# What This Bill Does

This bill makes a technical update to Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park in Missouri by changing the official boundary map that defines the park's area. Think of it like updating the property lines on a deed—the park itself isn't changing dramatically, but the official paperwork that describes exactly where it is needs to be refreshed with a newer, more accurate map from September 2021 instead of the old December 2018 version.

The bill also gives the National Park Service Secretary the ability to fix any small mistakes or typos that might appear on these official maps without having to pass a whole new law every time. This is a practical fix that prevents minor errors from getting stuck in the system permanently.

# The Main Change: Adding a Visitor Center

The most meaningful part of this bill allows the National Park Service to accept a donation of land from the city of Ste. Genevieve that's currently being used as the park's visitor center. Once the city donates this property, the park's official boundary will expand to include it. This means the visitor center—the building where tourists go to learn about the park and get information—would officially become part of the park itself rather than being separate city property. For visitors, this shouldn't change much about their experience, but it clarifies ownership and likely improves how the park manages and maintains this important facility.
