American Border Story Memorial Act
HR 6643, the American Border Story Memorial Act, authorizes a nonprofit organization ("The American Border Story") to establish a commemorative memorial on federal land in Washington, D.C., to honor U.S. citizens and legal residents who died due to crimes committed by individuals unlawfully present in the U.S. The bill prohibits the use of federal funds for the memorial's creation or maintenance, requiring all costs to be covered by private donations. Any remaining funds after project costs must be deposited into specific federal or National Park Foundation accounts, as outlined in the Commemorative Works Act. This is a procedural memorial bill with no direct policy or regulatory changes.
