in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Once the U.S. government owns all the land at the Saratoga battlefield site, that area becomes Saratoga National Historical Park. The park includes New York State's part of the battlefield. The Secretary of the Interior can add nearby land within six months.

Once the United States owns full title to all the land, buildings, and other property in the area at Saratoga, New York, where the Battle of Saratoga was fought during the Revolutionary War, that area becomes established as a public park. It's set apart for the benefit and inspiration of the public, and it's named the Saratoga National Historical Park. The park must include the part of the Saratoga Battlefield that belongs to the State of New York. It can also include other nearby land. The Secretary of the Interior has six months after this law's sections (159 through 159b) were approved to designate any additional nearby land as necessary or desirable for the park's purposes.
