Commission to Study the Creation of a National Museum of Irish American History
HR 2121 establishes a 23-member commission to study the feasibility of creating a National Museum of Irish American History in Washington, D.C. The commission, appointed by the President and congressional leaders, will examine key issues like funding sources (without relying on federal appropriations), potential locations, whether to partner with the Smithsonian, and community engagement strategies. It must submit detailed reports within 24 months, including a fundraising plan and recommendations for potential legislation, but does not authorize the museum's construction or funding. The bill focuses solely on gathering data and recommendations to inform future decisions, with the commission terminating 30 days after final reports are submitted.
