S.Amdt. 4136

SA 4136, submitted by Ms. Klobuchar and Mr. Padilla, aims to add a section regarding the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum to the bill H.R. 4016.

The amendment seeks to change and add the following:

• Museum Location: It authorizes the museum to be located within the Reserve.
• Site Jurisdiction: It outlines the process for using a site under another Federal agency's jurisdiction, requiring notification to the agency head and specific congressional committees, followed by the transfer of administrative jurisdiction to the Smithsonian Institution.
• Content and Diversity: It requires the Council to ensure exhibits and programs accurately represent various cultures, histories, events, and values of women in the U.S. This includes using guidance from a broad array of knowledgeable and respected sources that reflect diverse political viewpoints and authentic experiences.
• Accountability: It mandates that the Secretary of the Smithsonian submit a report to various House and Senate committees every 2 years (starting 120 days after enactment) regarding compliance with the diversity and representation requirements.
