This bill, titled the "Commission of Fine Arts District of Columbia Home Rule Act," aims to amend title 40 of the United States Code to restrict the authority of the Commission of Fine Arts. Its primary purpose is to prevent the Commission from exercising jurisdiction over any non-Federal property located within the District of Columbia, thereby granting more local control over such properties. The legislation specifically limits the Commission's authority over the location of statues, fountains, and monuments to only those owned by the Federal Government . Furthermore, it explicitly states that the Commission's oversight will no longer apply to any building, property, or project owned by the District of Columbia , nor to any private building, property, or project , clarifying significant limitations on its previous scope.
