A bill to require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study of Plum Island.

Bill 119 s 413, also known as the Plum Island Study Act, is a piece of legislation that calls for the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study of Plum Island. Plum Island is a small island located off the coast of Long Island, New York, and is currently home to the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, a research facility operated by the Department of Homeland Security.

The purpose of the study outlined in the bill is to assess the environmental, historical, and cultural significance of Plum Island, as well as to evaluate potential alternative uses for the island. The study will also consider the potential impacts of transferring ownership of Plum Island from the federal government to another entity.

The bill does not specify a timeline for the completion of the study, but it does require the Secretary of the Interior to submit a report to Congress detailing the findings and recommendations of the study within one year of the bill's enactment. Overall, the Plum Island Study Act aims to provide Congress with valuable information to inform future decisions regarding the management and potential future uses of Plum Island.
