Benishek Shipwreck Museum Bill
Congressman Dan Benishek has introduced a bill to correct a land patent issue for the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point.
The bill modifies a patent issued by the Department of Interior in 1998 to reflect a 2002 development plan to improve the facility.
A Senate version of the bill introduced by Senator Carl Levin passed the Senate in October.
Congressman Benishek’s bill was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
Since he is a member of that committee, Benishek hopes to hold a hearing and markup of the bill in the coming months.
Once the bill passes the House, it can be sent to the President to be signed into law.
