The America’s Living Library Act establishes the America’s Living Library Project, a pilot program to collect genomic data from species found in units of the National Park System. The program involves collecting, cataloging, and sequencing samples from animals, plants, fungi, and microbes. The Secretary of the Interior will coordinate with various agencies, including the Department of Agriculture and the Smithsonian Institution, for sample collection and storage. The program aims to create a publicly available genomic database while withholding sensitive information.
