This legislation, known as the Chiricahua National Park Act , officially redesignates the Chiricahua National Monument in the State of Arizona as the Chiricahua National Park. The bill specifies that the boundaries of the newly designated National Park will remain identical to those of the former monument, as depicted on a March 2021 map. Furthermore, any existing legal references, maps, regulations, or funds associated with the Chiricahua National Monument will automatically apply to the new National Park, ensuring a seamless transition. The Secretary of the Interior is tasked with administering the National Park in accordance with previous Presidential Proclamations and the general laws governing units of the National Park System. A key provision of the bill focuses on the protection of traditional cultural and religious sites within the park, requiring the Secretary to consult with Indian Tribes in this effort. It also mandates providing access to these sites for members of Indian Tribes for traditional cultural and customary uses, allowing for temporary, limited public closures of specific areas upon tribal request to safeguard these activities.
