Directing the Architect of the Capitol to place motor vehicle gas price trackers in the Hall of the House of Representatives and the Chamber of the Senate.

Key Points

• This plan would put digital screens in the main rooms where Congress meets to show the current price of gas across the country. These screens would update constantly to show the average cost of a gallon of regular gas in every state and U.S. territory.
• The goal is to keep the cost of living for regular Americans at the front of lawmakers' minds while they are debating and voting on laws. It would serve as a constant visual reminder of the financial pressure families face at the pump.
• No taxpayer money would be used to build or run these trackers. The Architect of the Capitol would be required to use private donations and gifts from individuals to pay for the design, construction, and upkeep of the screens.
• The official in charge of the Capitol building would have to submit a report every year to congressional leaders. This report would list where the donation money came from and how it was spent to ensure the process is transparent.
