Transfers a small cemetery from federal to private ownership.
The problem
A small cemetery sits on federal land. The current owners or local community want to own and manage it themselves instead of the federal government.
The proposal
The bill conveys ownership of a small cemetery from federal land to a private person, organization, or local government.
The impact
Local cemetery managers gain control over the burial ground. Federal government loses management responsibility. Community has more say in operations.
Local communities or families can manage their own cemetery according to their needs and traditions. This gives them more freedom to make decisions about the burial ground.
The federal government no longer pays to maintain this small cemetery. This saves taxpayer money on land management and upkeep.
Private owners can make maintenance and operational decisions quickly without federal bureaucracy. This can lead to better cemetery care and services.
Private ownership might limit who can visit or be buried in the cemetery. The public could lose guaranteed access to what was once federal land.
Private owners might not maintain the cemetery properly if they face financial problems. There's no guarantee the burial ground will be cared for permanently.
Federal ownership includes environmental and archaeological protections. Private ownership may have fewer safeguards for historic burial grounds.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
