Battlefield property; incorporation into national park; transfer of easement held by Board of Historic Resources. Requires any instrument that creates an easement held by the Board of Historic Resources (the Board) on a battlefield property to include provisions for the transfer of the easement to the United States if the underlying property is incorporated into a national park. The bill directs the Board to transfer such an easement to the United States if it is requested to do so by both the United States and the owner of the underlying property and if such owner makes certain affirmations to the Board regarding the preservation of and public access to the property. The bill also directs the Board to transfer to the United States the easements it holds on nine particular battlefield properties located within the Petersburg National Battlefield and the Richmond National Battlefield Park and to conform the terms of existing Virginia Battlefield Preservation Fund grant agreements to the provisions of the bill.
