Capitol Remembrance Act

This legislation directs the Architect of the Capitol to establish a permanent exhibit within the United States Capitol, commemorating the attack that occurred on January 6, 2021. This exhibit must be designed and installed in a prominent location within two years of the bill's enactment, in consultation with the Joint Committee on the Library. Key requirements for the exhibit include the preservation and display of damaged property from the Capitol or its grounds, along with existing photographic records of the event. A significant component will be a plaque honoring the United States Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies, specific fallen officers and injured individuals, and the Capitol staff who aided in the complex's restoration. The bill also permits the inclusion of artwork depicting the attack, and it authorizes necessary appropriations for its implementation.
