This legislation officially designates the existing POW/MIA Memorial and Museum in Jacksonville, Florida, as the National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum . The institution is being built to honor, connect, inspire, and educate all people about the 142,000 members of the Armed Forces captured as prisoners of war and the approximately 82,000 members currently missing in action or unaccounted for since World War II. It is intended to be a unique and comprehensive project, providing a venue for families to share their stories and publicizing the histories of these individuals. The bill mandates that the Director of the National POW/MIA Memorial and Museum submit a report to Congress within 90 days of the Act's enactment. This report must include a five-year budget, the organizational structure, bylaws, and any accreditation details for the museum. The national designation can be withdrawn if the museum is not satisfactorily operational within five years of enactment or if the required report is not submitted to Congress within the specified 90-day timeframe.
