What public-law number belongs to the 2016 act establishing the commission for America250?

Public Law 114-196 is the law number of the 2016 act establishing the commission for America250.

The measure is formally titled the United States Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016. It appears in the list of public laws enacted by the 114th United States Congress and was approved on July 22, 2016.

The numbering has two parts. “114” identifies the Congress that enacted the law, while “196” identifies its sequence among that Congress's public laws. This makes the answer different from the act's title and from the anniversary year itself.

The law created a federal planning structure for the United States' 250th anniversary. America250's public programs and partnerships fit into a much larger effort involving government agencies, historical institutions, educators, states, territories, and community organizations.
