Plain-English Summary
The bill would adjust the official boundaries of Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis, Missouri, likely to include or exclude certain land areas from the park's protected territory. The changes would update rules that have been in place since 1954 regarding what land is considered part of the national park. This affects how the park is managed and what areas receive federal protection and resources.
