No Funding to Honor Crime Scenes Act
Closing the Cesar Chavez National Monument
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for review. No further actions or hearings have been scheduled at this time. The bill is considered active but is not moving forward quickly.
Legislative Progress
This bill targets a specific cultural site and lacks support from the other party, making it very hard to pass in a divided Congress.
Key Points
- This bill would completely shut down the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in California. This site was created in 2012 to honor the famous labor leader and civil rights activist.
- If passed, the government would stop all funding for the monument. Any money left over in its budget would be moved to a different program that helps police process DNA evidence backlogs.
- The bill is named the No Funding to Honor Crime Scenes Act. This title suggests the sponsors believe the site or the person it honors should not be supported with federal tax dollars.
- The Secretary of the Interior would be banned from using any money to run or fix up the site. The only spending allowed would be for the actual steps needed to close it down.
