What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Commission of Fine Arts District of Columbia Residency Act," proposes an amendment to title 40 of the United States Code. It seeks to change the membership requirements for the Commission of Fine Arts. Specifically, it would require that a majority of the members be residents of the District of Columbia. These members would still be appointed by the President. The change would take effect one year after the Act is enacted.
