Plum Island Preservation Act

The Plum Island Preservation Act (S 5099) permanently protects Plum Island, New York, as federal property for ecological conservation, historical preservation, and celebrating its cultural heritage. It requires the Administrator of General Services to develop a management plan within 180 days of enactment, after consulting with federal, state agencies, and stakeholders. The bill mandates annual reports to specific congressional committees detailing stakeholder input, process progress, and the finalized management plan, with ongoing updates until the plan is completed. This directly affects the management of Plum Island’s federal land and establishes a structured process for its long-term conservation.
