Very unlikely to pass

This bill targets a specific historical figure and is likely to face strong opposition from the other party, making it very difficult to pass.

Key Points

This bill would shut down the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in California and end all federal funding for the site. The monument currently includes the labor leader's home, office, and gravesite.
The government would be required to sell the land and everything inside the buildings for fair market value within 90 days. Any money made from the sale would be moved to a fund that helps police departments clear their backlogs of DNA evidence.
If passed, the law would immediately block the public from visiting the site. It would also require the government to remove the name Cesar E. Chavez from all official maps, records, and federal documents related to the area.
The bill aims to stop using federal tax dollars to maintain this specific historical site. By selling the property, the government would permanently end its role in managing the monument.
