Key Points

This bill requires the Department of the Interior to take down the statue of Albert Pike located near Judiciary Square in Washington, D.C. Albert Pike was a Confederate general, and this specific statue has been a point of protest for many years.
Once the statue is removed, the government can give it to a museum or a similar group. This would allow the statue to be kept safe and shown in a way that explains its history rather than just honoring the person.
There is a strict rule that the statue can never be displayed outside again. If the museum or group that takes it puts it outdoors, the federal government will take back ownership of the statue immediately.
The goal of the bill is to remove a monument that many people find offensive from public federal land. It follows a trend of removing Confederate symbols from prominent public spaces across the country.
