Italian Heroes and Heritage Act

This bill would bar federal funds from going to any state or local government that celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day in place of Columbus Day. The ban would apply during the one-year period beginning after October 13, 2025, and would continue in yearly periods tied to each Columbus Day after that. The bill also states that Congress believes October 13th should continue to be celebrated nationwide as Christopher Columbus Day. It includes findings about Columbus's 1492 voyage and about 11 Italian-Americans killed by a mob in New Orleans.
