HR 4300

This bill limits the authority of the Commission of Fine Arts to oversee design and placement of public art and monuments within the District of Columbia. Specifically, it restricts the Commission’s power to regulate the location of statues, fountains, and monuments on property owned by the federal government, the District of Columbia, or private entities. The bill clarifies that the Commission’s jurisdiction does not extend to buildings and projects associated with the Capitol, Library of Congress, or the District itself. It aims to ensure that decisions about public art are made with broader consideration of all property owners in the area.
