Public Law 117-80, enacted in December 2021, authorized the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation to establish a commemorative work on federal land in Washington, D.C., but not on the National Mall. Because S. 858 would only change the location of the monument, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would not significantly affect federal spending over the 2026-2031 period.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
