Next Steps

The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The next step would be committee hearings, markup, and a vote before it can proceed to the full Senate for consideration.

Social Impact

The library could positively impact the community by promoting education, tourism, and civic engagement. It may also increase awareness and appreciation for the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt. However, some may oppose government funding for this specific project.

Business Impact

The bill may stimulate the economy of Medora, North Dakota, through increased tourism and related business activities. Construction and operation of the library could create jobs. However, there may be increased competition for resources among businesses.

Financial Impact

The bill authorizes up to $50 million in federal grants, contingent upon a $100 million private fundraising match by the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation. This could strain the budget if the match isn't reached.
