To providing access to certain memorials on Federal property during Government shutdown, and for other purposes.
Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Summary
The bill obligates any federal agency experiencing a lapse in appropriations to maintain public access to memorials that are not federally funded but are normally reachable through its facilities. It also classifies employees who manage that access as emergency personnel, protecting them from mandatory furlough. This ensures visitors can still honor memorial sites even when the government is shut down.
