To permit each of the territories of the United States to provide and furnish statues honoring their citizens for placement in Statuary Hall in the same manner as statues honoring citizens of the States are provided for placement in Statuary Hall.

This bill authorizes the President to invite each U.S. territory to provide and furnish no more than two statues for placement in National Statuary Hall. These statues may be of U.S. citizens or persons who, though not citizens of the United States, owe permanent allegiance to the United States.

Bill 117 hr 1422, also known as the "Territories of the United States Statuary Hall Act," aims to allow the territories of the United States, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa, to provide statues honoring their citizens for placement in Statuary Hall. Currently, only states are permitted to provide statues for display in Statuary Hall, which is located in the United States Capitol.

If passed, this bill would give the territories the same opportunity as states to honor their citizens in this prestigious location. Statuary Hall is a significant part of the Capitol building, showcasing statues of prominent individuals from each state. This bill seeks to expand this tradition to include citizens from the territories of the United States.

By allowing the territories to provide statues for Statuary Hall, this bill aims to recognize and celebrate the contributions and achievements of individuals from these regions. It would provide a platform for the territories to showcase their unique history and culture within the Capitol building. Overall, Bill 117 hr 1422 seeks to promote inclusivity and representation within Statuary Hall by allowing the territories of the United States to honor their citizens in the same manner as states.
