AI Summary
This bill, known as the Capitol Remembrance Act, directs the Architect of the Capitol (the senior official responsible for maintaining and preserving the U.S. Capitol building) to create a permanent exhibit commemorating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol within two years of the bill's enactment. The exhibit must be placed in a prominent location and include several key elements: preserved Capitol property damaged during the attack, existing photographic records of the event, and a plaque honoring the United States Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies that responded to the incident. The plaque will specifically recognize the sacrifices of officers who were killed or injured during the attack, including named officers like Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, and the Capitol staff who helped restore the building afterward. The Architect may also include artwork depicting the attack in the exhibit. The bill authorizes the necessary funding to complete this project, with appropriated funds remaining available until fully expended, ensuring that this significant moment in U.S. history is documented and remembered.
