Bill Summary
A BILL To permit the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum to be located within the Reserve of the National Mall, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum to be located within the Reserve of the National Mall, overriding previous restrictions on museum placement. The legislation amends existing law to allow the museum's site to be on land currently under the jurisdiction of another federal agency, requiring notification to specific congressional committees before any land transfer. The bill also emphasizes the importance of ensuring diverse representation in the museum's exhibits and programs, mandating that the museum's Council seek guidance from a broad range of sources representing varied political viewpoints, cultures, and experiences of women in the United States. The Council is required to accurately and comprehensively represent women's histories and values, consulting "knowledgeable and respected sources" that reflect the broad spectrum of women's communities. Additionally, the Smithsonian Secretary must submit reports to Congress every two years detailing how the museum is meeting these representational requirements. The amendments are retroactively applied as if they were part of the original 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which initially established the museum.
