"The cemetery preservation act is listed on page 2,954 of the massive omnibus funding bill. It establishes the first ever program in the National Park Service to provide grant opportunities and technical assistance to groups that research, identify, survey and preserve the sites.

The legislation provides the Park Service with $3 million a year through 2027 to award in grants."
