Capitol Remembrance Act
Capitol Remembrance Act: Permanent January 6 Exhibit
The Capitol Remembrance Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on House Administration for review. The bill is actively moving forward as it waits for the committee to discuss it.
Legislative Progress
The bill was introduced by Democrats in a House of Representatives currently controlled by Republicans, who are unlikely to bring this specific proposal to a vote.
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.
