Summary of Bill HR 1026
Bill 118 hr 1026, also known as the "Territories of the United States Statuary Hall Act," aims to allow the territories of the United States to provide and furnish statues honoring their citizens for placement in Statuary Hall. Currently, only states are permitted to provide statues honoring their citizens for display in Statuary Hall. This bill seeks to extend this privilege to the territories of the United States as well.
If passed, this bill would allow territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands to honor their citizens by providing statues for display in Statuary Hall. This would give the territories the same opportunity as states to showcase the contributions and achievements of their residents in the nation's Capitol.
The bill does not specify any particular requirements or restrictions for the statues provided by the territories, but simply grants them the same privilege that states currently have. This legislation aims to promote inclusivity and recognition of the diverse contributions made by citizens of the territories to the history and culture of the United States. Overall, the "Territories of the United States Statuary Hall Act" seeks to expand the representation of all U.S. territories in Statuary Hall and provide them with the opportunity to honor their citizens in the same manner as states.
