A 3728 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Asks Joint Committee on Library of Congress to approve replacing NJ statue of Philip Kearny in National Statuary Hall Collection with statue of Alice Paul.

This bill requests New Jersey to formally ask the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress to approve replacing the state's statue of Philip Kearny in the National Statuary Hall Collection with a statue of Alice Paul, a Moorestown, New Jersey-born suffragist who played a key role in securing the 19th Amendment. It establishes a temporary, bipartisan committee to select a sculptor, approve the statue design, and arrange funding for the new statue and removal of the old one. The committee must complete its work within one year and report to state officials, following federal procedures for statue replacements in the Capitol collection.
