In 2019, a bipartisan bill was drafted in an attempt to turn those suggestions into law. The One Small Step Act would require the creation of a federal agency that would be responsible for issuing licenses for activity on the Moon. This license would then hold its applicants accountable to the recommendations and guidelines outlined by NASA for the protection and preservation of U.S. federally recognized lunar artifacts. The bill passed in the Senate on July 18, 2019 — two days before the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. It has yet to pass the House or reach the President.
