Key Points

This bill would create a permanent display inside the U.S. Capitol building to remember the events of January 6, 2021. The Architect of the Capitol would have two years to design and set up the exhibit in a busy area where visitors can see it.
The exhibit would include real items that were damaged during the attack, such as broken property from the building or grounds. It would also feature photographs and artwork that show what happened during the riot.
A special plaque would be part of the display to honor the police officers and staff who protected the building. It specifically names five officers who died after the attack and recognizes the workers who helped clean up the Capitol complex.
The government would provide the money needed to build and maintain the exhibit. This project is meant to make sure the history of that day is preserved for future generations who visit the nation's capital.
