What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Equality in the Halls of Congress Act," seeks to allow U.S. territories and commonwealths to participate in the National Statuary Hall Collection. It permits American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands to provide and furnish statues. The legislation updates the definition of "State" within the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2001, to include these specific territories and commonwealths. Additionally, the Architect of the Capitol is given the authority to take necessary measures to acquire these statues and carry out the Act.
