Inventory of Historic African American Burial Grounds Amendment Act of 2025

This bill requires the Historic Preservation Review Board to add Historic African American burial grounds to the District's official inventory of historic landmarks and districts. It defines these sites as pre-1955 burial locations for African Americans owned by public or charitable entities, mandating inclusion of their location, ownership, and any disputes in the inventory and city maps. The Mayor must also report annually on the preservation status of these burial grounds, including efforts to register sites not yet listed in official historic records. The bill directly affects the Historic Preservation Review Board, the Mayor's office, and city planning departments. It focuses on formal recognition and documentation of these culturally significant sites.
