Confederate Monument Removal Act
This bill requires the removal of statues in the U.S. Capitol that honor individuals who served in the Confederate States of America. The Architect of the Capitol must identify and remove these statues within 120 days of enactment, with states able to request the return of statues they provided (at their own cost) or have them stored by the Capitol. The bill appropriates $2 million for removal, transfer, storage, and security costs related to the process. It directly affects the Capitol's display of statues, the Architect of the Capitol, and states that originally contributed such statues. The law amends existing rules to exclude Confederate service from eligibility for Capitol statues.
