Bill 118 hr 9987, also known as the Commission To Study the Potential of a National Museum of Italian American History and Culture Act, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of establishing a commission to study the feasibility of creating a national museum dedicated to Italian American history and culture.
The bill proposes the formation of a 15-member commission, consisting of individuals with expertise in Italian American history, culture, and museum management. The commission would be tasked with conducting a comprehensive study to determine the potential location, size, scope, and cost of establishing a national museum dedicated to Italian American history and culture.
The commission would also be responsible for assessing the potential public and private funding sources for the museum, as well as the potential economic and cultural impact of such a museum on the Italian American community and the broader American society.
If the commission determines that the establishment of a national museum of Italian American history and culture is feasible and beneficial, it would be required to submit a report to Congress with its findings and recommendations within two years of its formation.
Overall, the Commission To Study the Potential of a National Museum of Italian American History and Culture Act aims to explore the possibility of creating a national museum that celebrates the rich history and contributions of Italian Americans to the cultural fabric of the United States.
