Bill overview
This bill, the Protect America’s Statues Act of 2020, restricts federal funding to states and local governments that have laws or policies contradicting federal criminal laws related to the destruction of veterans’ memorials or rioting. It limits historic preservation grants and fixed guideway capital investment grants to jurisdictions deemed ‘ineligible,’ and requires ineligible jurisdictions that have previously received grants to return 75% of those funds. The Department of Justice will maintain a list of ineligible jurisdictions, ensuring these restrictions are applied consistently.
