Establishes a process for renaming offensive place names and creates an advisory committee to recommend changes.
The Reconciliation in Place Names Act aims to address offensive place names in the United States. It establishes an advisory committee to recommend renaming geographic features and federal land units with offensive names. The committee will solicit proposals from Indian Tribes, state and local governments, land management agencies, and the public. The committee will also provide public comment opportunities and make recommendations to the Board on Geographic Names and Congress. The Board must review and act on the committee's proposals within three years.
