Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino Act

This bill authorizes the establishment of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino within the National Mall's Reserve area, directly affecting the Smithsonian Institution and Latino communities whose history the museum will showcase. It modifies existing law to allow the museum's location in the Reserve (overriding prior restrictions) and requires the Smithsonian Board to transfer land from other federal agencies if needed, with specific notification procedures. The bill mandates that exhibits and programs accurately represent the diverse cultures, histories, and viewpoints within Hispanic and Latino communities, seeking input from a broad range of community experts. It also requires annual reports to Congress on compliance with these representation standards, beginning 120 days after enactment.
