H.R. 3250

National Museum of Play Recognition Act

STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE ON FEDERAL LANDS CONCERNING H.R. 3250, THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF PLAY RECOGNITION ACT.

JUNE 22, 2023

Chairman Tiffany, Ranking Member Neguse, and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to present the Department of the Interior’s views on H.R. 3250, the National Museum of Play Recognition Act.

H.R. 3250, the National Museum of Play Recognition Act, would recognize the Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester, New York, and officially designate the Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum as the National Museum of Play. 

The Department does not have a position on H.R. 3250, as the museum would not be located at a site that is under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior.  

This legislation explicitly states that this Museum is not a unit of the National Park System, and that designation shall not be construed to require or permit Federal funds to be expended for any purpose related to the Museum. 

Thank you for the opportunity to provide this statement for the record.
