Renewing the Dream Act
This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to replace an existing plaque at the Lincoln Memorial with a new one that commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. The legislation requires that the design and placement of the new plaque follow the rules set by the Commemorative Works Act. It also authorizes the use of federal funds for the removal of the old plaque and the installation of the new one, while allowing the agency to accept private contributions to help cover these costs without needing additional congressional approval.
