Bill 119 s 1215, also known as the Cesar E. Chavez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park Act, aims to establish a national historical park in honor of Cesar E. Chavez and the farmworker movement in California and Arizona. The bill seeks to preserve and commemorate the legacy of Chavez, a prominent labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers union.

The proposed national historical park would include sites significant to Chavez's life and work, such as his former residence, office, and the headquarters of the United Farm Workers union. The park would also highlight the contributions of farmworkers and their struggle for fair wages, working conditions, and civil rights.

In addition to establishing the national historical park, the bill includes provisions for the management and preservation of the park, as well as funding for its operation and maintenance. The bill also authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to enter into agreements with state and local governments, nonprofit organizations, and other entities to assist in the management of the park. Overall, Bill 119 s 1215 seeks to honor the legacy of Cesar E. Chavez and the farmworker movement by creating a national historical park that will educate and inspire future generations about their important contributions to American history.
