This bill seeks to abolish the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in California, which was established by Presidential Proclamation 8884. Upon its abolishment, the legislation explicitly prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from using any previously appropriated or unobligated funds for the monument's ongoing operation or maintenance. This measure ensures that federal financial support for the monument ceases, except for actions directly related to its dissolution. Furthermore, any remaining unobligated funds are mandated to be transferred and made available to carry out section 2 of the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000. This redirection of resources signifies a complete cessation of federal support for the monument and a reallocation to a different federal program. The bill's provisions ensure a definitive end to the monument's existence and its associated funding.
