Could go either way

Bipartisan support for honoring service animals is strong, but getting permission to build on the central National Mall is often a long and difficult process.

Key Points

This bill would allow a new monument honoring service animals to be built on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It specifically targets an area called the Reserve, which is the central part of the Mall where new construction is usually restricted.
The monument is meant to recognize the work of animals that have served in the military or helped people with disabilities. This includes dogs, horses, and other animals that have supported Americans in important roles.
Placing the monument on the National Mall would give it a high-profile location visited by millions of people every year. This requires a special legal exception because the area is normally kept as open space.
