AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require a federal agency to keep certain memorials open to the public during a government shutdown caused by a lapse in funding. It covers sites of commemoration, such as memorials or cemeteries, that are not paid for by the federal government but are normally reached by the public through the agency's federal property. Federal employees whose jobs involve giving the public access to these memorials would be treated as emergency workers. This means they would keep working instead of being furloughed during a shutdown.
