This bill changes federal law on records centers run by the National Archives. It would bar the Archivist of the United States from closing any record center or archive facility that exists before the law takes effect. It would also bar the Archivist from placing unreasonable limits on public access to those facilities. In addition, the Archivist could not rebuild, convert, or renovate such a facility if the work would require moving records out for more than 180 days.
