Which law created the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission for America's 250th anniversary?

Public Law 114-196 created the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission for America's 250th anniversary.

Congress enacted Public Law 114-196 in 2016. The law established a federal commission to plan and encourage observances of the 250th anniversary of the United States, including educational, cultural, and commemorative activities.

The commission's work was later carried forward through America250, the public-facing national initiative associated with the semiquincentennial. The anniversary effort involves federal, state, local, nonprofit, and community partners rather than a single event in one city.

Public Law numbers identify laws by the Congress that enacted them and their sequence during that Congress. “114” refers to the 114th Congress, which met from 2015 to 2017, while “196” identifies the law's number in that Congress. This makes the designation different from a bill number or an executive order.
