                                 AN ACT

 
 To adjust the boundary of the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield 
  Park to include the Wallis House and Harriston Hill, and for other 
                               purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Kennesaw Mountain National 
Battlefield Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2015''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park was 
        authorized as a unit of the National Park System on June 26, 
        1935. Prior to 1935, parts of the park had been acquired and 
        protected by Civil War veterans and the War Department.
            (2) Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park protects 
        Kennesaw Mountain and Kolb's Farm, which are battle sites along 
        the route of General Sherman's 1864 campaign to take Atlanta.
            (3) Most of the park protects Confederate positions and 
        strategy. The Wallis House is one of the few original 
        structures remaining from the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain 
        associated with Union positions and strategy.
            (4) The Wallis House is strategically located next to a 
        Union signal station at Harriston Hill.

SEC. 3. BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT; LAND ACQUISITION; ADMINISTRATION.

    (a) Boundary Adjustment.--The boundary of the Kennesaw Mountain 
National Battlefield Park is modified to include the approximately 8 
acres identified as ``Wallis House and Harriston Hill'', and generally 
depicted on the map titled ``Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield 
Park, Proposed Boundary Adjustment'', numbered 325/80,020, and dated 
February 2010.
    (b) Map.--The map referred to in subsection (a) shall be on file 
and available for inspection in the appropriate offices of the National 
Park Service.
    (c) Land Acquisition.--The Secretary of the Interior is authorized 
to acquire, from willing owners only, land or interests in land 
described in subsection (a) by donation or exchange.
    (d) Administration of Acquired Lands.--The Secretary of the 
Interior shall administer land and interests in land acquired under 
this section as part of the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park 
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
    (e) Written Consent of Owner.--No non-Federal property may be 
included in the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park without the 
written consent of the owner. This provision shall apply only to those 
portions of the Park added under subsection (a).
    (f) No Use of Condemnation.--The Secretary of the Interior may not 
acquire by condemnation any land or interests in land under this Act or 
for the purposes of this Act.
    (g) No Buffer Zone Created.--Nothing in this Act, the establishment 
of the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, or the management 
plan for the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park shall be 
construed to create buffer zones outside of the Park. That activities 
or uses can be seen, heard, or detected from areas within the Kennesaw 
Mountain National Battlefield Park shall not preclude, limit, control, 
regulate or determine the conduct or management of activities or uses 
outside the Park.

            Passed the House of Representatives February 24, 2016.

            Attest:
