Bill overview
This bill would allow the territories of the United States – including American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands – to contribute statues for display in the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. It achieves this by amending existing law to include these territories within the definition of ‘State’ for the purposes of the statues housed in the hall. The bill aims to recognize and celebrate the history and culture of these territories through this symbolic representation.
