Bill overview
This bill, the Equality in the Halls of Congress Act, 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 provide and display statues in National Statuary Hall in Congress. It achieves this by amending existing law to include these territories within the definition of ‘State’ for the purposes of statue placement. The bill aims to increase representation and acknowledge the historical contributions of these territories.
