D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act
This act transfers the administration of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus from the National Park Service to the District of Columbia.
The District, after the transfer, may develop and use, and permit the development and use of, the campus for the following purposes:
stadium purposes;
commercial and residential development;
facilities, open space, and public outdoor opportunities;
other public purposes for which the campus was used or approved for use prior to June 1, 1985; and
certain related demolition purposes.
The Declaration of Covenants must include specified requirements for the District, including that the District must (1) ensure that development does not adversely impact National Park Service lands, and (2) designate at least 30% of the campus as parks and open space.
The District must conduct a survey of the campus and submit it to Congress.
The Department of the Interior and the District must enter into a memorandum of understanding to determine an allocation of certain environmental and cleanup costs.
The act (1) prohibits the use of federal funds for stadium purposes; and (2) sets the term of the transfer, subject to reversion under specified circumstances.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
This bill has been enacted. It is law.
The record's latest action, on January 6, 2025: Became Public Law No: 118-274.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
James Comer (R-KY) introduced it on July 27, 2023, and 21 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 10 Democrats, 11 Republicans.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
