The bill says October 13 should continue to be celebrated nationwide as Christopher Columbus Day, in part to honor Italian-American heritage and 11 Italian-Americans killed by a lynch mob in New Orleans. It would prohibit federal funds from going to a state or local government that celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day. The funding prohibition would apply during the one-year period beginning after October 13, 2025, and on each Columbus Day thereafter.
If enacted, the bill could affect federal funding for state or local governments that celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day in place of Columbus Day. The text does not describe effects on individuals.
