HF 4984 Minnesota House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Joint Committee on Library of Congress of United States Congress requested to approve replacement of statue of Henry Mower Rice now on display in National Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol, and memorial resolution proposed.

This bill is a memorial resolution that asks the U.S. Congress to approve Minnesota's request to replace its current statue of Henry Mower Rice in the National Statuary Hall with a new statue of former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Under existing federal law, states may swap out statues that have been on display for at least ten years, and Minnesota has selected Humphrey to honor his significant legislative achievements and service as a U.S. Senator and Vice President. The resolution directs state officials to arrange for the removal of the Rice statue, the installation of a replica of the existing Humphrey statue from the Minnesota State Capitol, and the transfer of the old Rice statue back to the state.
