During a government shutdown, federal memorials and monuments would remain open to the public instead of being closed. This would allow visitors to access places like the Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial, and other historic sites on federal land even when most government operations are suspended. The bill affects tourists, veterans, and families who want to visit these important landmarks regardless of whether Congress has approved a budget.
