This legislation mandates that the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library acquire a statue of Shirley Chisholm within two years of the bill's enactment. The Committee is authorized to enter into agreements and contracts for this purpose, potentially delegating this authority to the Architect of the Capitol. Once obtained, the statue must be placed in a public and permanent location within the United States Capitol. The bill also includes an authorization of appropriations for such sums as may be necessary to carry out these provisions, ensuring funds remain available until expended.
