Fire Island AIDS Memorial Act

HR 6812, the Fire Island AIDS Memorial Act, authorizes the Pines Foundation to establish a memorial at Fire Island National Seashore to honor residents of Fire Island Pines and Cherry Grove, New York, who died from AIDS during the epidemic. The memorial must be created using non-Federal funds only (prohibiting federal taxpayer money for design, installation, or maintenance), and its location is specified along a walkway between the two communities near Carrington House. The Director of the National Park Service must approve the final design, and the memorial aims to educate future generations about the AIDS epidemic's impact on these specific communities. This is a commemorative bill with no new policy or regulatory changes.
