Summary of Bill S 783
Bill 110 S 783, also known as the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve Boundary Adjustment Act of 2008, was introduced in the 110th Congress by Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. The purpose of this bill was to make adjustments to the boundaries of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Louisiana.
The Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve was established in 1978 to preserve the cultural and natural resources of the Mississippi River Delta region. The park is named after Jean Lafitte, a French pirate and privateer who operated in the Gulf of Mexico in the early 19th century.
The bill proposed to expand the boundaries of the park to include additional land and water areas in order to better protect and preserve the historical and cultural resources of the region. The expansion would also provide more opportunities for outdoor recreation and education for visitors to the park. The bill received bipartisan support in Congress and was ultimately signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 15, 2008. The Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve Boundary Adjustment Act of 2008 has since helped to ensure the continued preservation and enjoyment of this important historical and natural area in Louisiana.
