This bill proposes the establishment of the Commission to Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of Italian American History and Culture . This eight-member Commission will be appointed by congressional leaders, with members selected for their expertise in Italian American history, museum administration, fundraising, or public service. Appointments must be made within 90 days of the bill's enactment, ensuring a prompt start to the Commission's work. The Commission's primary duties include submitting two comprehensive reports to the President and Congress within 18 months of its first meeting. These reports will detail a plan of action regarding the museum's feasibility, including the availability and cost of collections, its impact on existing Italian American museums, potential locations in Washington, D.C., and the possibility of integration with the Smithsonian Institution. Furthermore, the Commission must develop a robust fundraising plan , subject to an independent review, to ensure the museum's establishment, operation, and maintenance can be supported entirely by public contributions, without any reliance on federal appropriations. The Commission itself will also be funded solely through accepted contributions and will terminate 30 days after submitting its final reports.
