AI Summary
This bill, titled the "American Border Story Memorial Act," authorizes the establishment of a commemorative work on federal land in Washington D.C. and its surrounding areas to honor U.S. citizens and legal residents who were victims of crimes committed by individuals unlawfully present in the United States. The organization "The American Border Story" (TABS) is empowered to create this memorial, which must adhere to the standards outlined in the Commemorative Works Act, a set of federal regulations governing the creation of monuments and memorials. Importantly, the bill explicitly prohibits the use of any federal funds for the establishment of this memorial, meaning all expenses must be covered by private donations. Any excess funds remaining after the memorial is fully established and its maintenance is secured will be transferred to the Secretary of the Interior for deposit into a specific account related to memorial maintenance, or to a separate account with the National Park Foundation if the authority for the memorial expires.
