The America’s Living Library Act establishes the America’s Living Library Project, a pilot program to collect genomic data from species found in National Park System units. The program involves collecting, cataloging, and sequencing samples from animals, plants, fungi, and microbes. The Secretary of the Interior will select initial units based on criteria like biological landscape and feasibility. The program will also establish a genomic database and a germplasm repository. Funding is authorized for various aspects of the program, including sample storage and database management.
