## Summary

CHOPping Cash for CHAZ Act of 2020 This bill prohibits federal funding during FY2021 to governmental entities that permit autonomous zones within their borders.

To reestablish eligibility for federal funds, a state, territory, or political subdivision shall (1) disband the relevant autonomous zone, and (2) report to DOJ detailing the manner in which such zone was disbanded and how the entity intends to prevent future establishment of autonomous zones.
