Plum Island Preservation Study Act
This bill requires the Department of the Interior to conduct a study on the appropriateness of designating all or a portion of Plum Island in New York as a unit of the National Park System or the National Wildlife Refuge System.
In conducting the study, Interior must evaluate the national significance of Plum Island and consult with interested federal, state, or local government entities; private and nonprofit organizations; and other stakeholders.
The study must also consider protecting Plum Island’s resources by some other means, and must include cost estimates associated with identified alternatives.
