A bill to direct the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library to procure a statue of Benjamin Franklin for placement in the United States Capitol.

This bill directs the Joint Committee on the Library to obtain and place a statue of Benjamin Franklin in the U.S. Capitol by specific deadlines. The Joint Committee must secure the statue by December 31, 2025, and install it in a public area accessible during Capitol Visitor Center guided tours by December 31, 2026. It affects the Joint Committee’s duties and the Capitol’s public display arrangements, with no policy changes beyond the physical placement. As a procedural bill, it focuses solely on the statue’s procurement and location, not legislative substance.
