This legislation authorizes the Pines Foundation to establish the Fire Island AIDS Memorial within the boundaries of the Fire Island National Seashore. The primary purposes of this memorial are to honor and remember the many residents of Fire Island Pines and Cherry Grove, New York, who suffered and died from the AIDS epidemic, and to educate future generations about the epidemic's profound impact on these communities. The bill explicitly states that Federal funds may not be used for the design, procurement, preparation, installation, or maintenance of the memorial. Instead, the Foundation is responsible for these costs, with the design and specific location of the memorial being subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior.
