AI Summary
This bill, the Confederate Monument Removal Act, aims to remove all statues in the United States Capitol of individuals who voluntarily served the Confederate States of America. The bill amends existing law to prohibit a state from providing for the display of such statues in the National Statuary Hall, and it requires the Architect of the Capitol to identify and arrange for the removal of these statues within 120 days of the bill's enactment. The removed statues will be transferred to the Smithsonian Institution for storage or display, unless the state that provided the statue requests its return and agrees to pay for the transportation costs. The bill also appropriates $5 million to cover the expenses related to the statue removal, transfer, and storage.
