United StatesSaratoga National Historical Park would become Saratoga National Battlefield Park
If enacted, it would rename Saratoga National Historical Park and treat federal references to its old name as references to the new one.
What it does
Saratoga National Historical Park would be renamed Saratoga National Battlefield Park. Federal laws, maps, rules, and records using the old name would still refer to the renamed park.
Argument forTreating old federal references as the new name could keep laws and records usable without rewriting every reference.
Argument againstUsing a new official name might confuse people when some maps and documents still show the park’s old name.
More detail
Saratoga National Historical Park would take the name Saratoga National Battlefield Park. The update would cover federal laws, maps, rules, documents, papers, and other federal records that refer to the old name. The rename would take effect only if the measure becomes law.
