What this bill does
H.R. 1693 would officially rename the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming, as the "Barbara L. Cubin National Historic Trails Interpretive Center." The center was originally established under a 1998 federal law (Public Law 105-290). The bill specifies that any existing reference to the center in U.S. laws, maps, regulations, documents, or other records would automatically be treated as referring to the new name, and it makes a conforming amendment to the original 1998 law to reflect this change.
The redesignation primarily affects how the facility is formally identified in federal records and public materials; it does not alter the center's operations, funding, mission, or physical location. It would be most directly relevant to the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, or other entities involved with the site, as well as visitors and researchers who reference the center by name.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) on February 27, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. As of August 27, 2026, it has been ordered reported by unanimous consent and committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, meaning it is positioned for potential consideration by the full House. Further House votes, and action by the Senate, would be required before it could become law.
