Establishing César Chávez and Farmworker Movement National Historical Park.

This law renames and expands the existing national monument in California into the César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park, including key historical sites in California and Arizona. This action ensures better preservation and interpretation of the significant history of farmworker rights and labor movements, providing the public with new educational and cultural sites to visit. The law also initiates a study for a new National Historic Trail commemorating the 1966 farmworker march.
Key points
The César E. Chávez National Monument is upgraded and renamed to a National Historical Park, securing greater protection and public resources.
The park boundary can be expanded to include historically significant sites in California (Delano, San Jose) and Arizona (Phoenix).
A study is mandated to potentially establish the Farmworker Peregrinación National Historic Trail, a 300-mile route.
