To amend title 36, United States Code, to move the place of incorporation and domicile of the National Woman's Relief Corps to Illinois, to move the principal office of such Corps to Murphysboro, Illinois, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 988 **What the Bill Does:** This bill relocates the National Woman's Relief Corps, a federally chartered organization, from Washington, D.C. to Illinois. Specifically, it moves the organization's legal incorporation and main office from Springfield, Illinois to Murphysboro, Illinois. The National Woman's Relief Corps is a historical and charitable organization dedicated to preserving the memory of Civil War veterans, maintaining historical records, and honoring Americans who served in any war. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects the National Woman's Relief Corps organization itself and its members. It may have minor implications for the organization's operations, administrative costs, and access to its records and services for members and researchers in Illinois and elsewhere.

The change is largely administrative rather than affecting the general public directly. **Current Status:** The bill has passed the House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL-12) and would need to pass the Senate and receive the President's signature to become law. This is a relatively straightforward organizational amendment with no significant controversy noted.
