Urges Congress to continue progress on National Museum of the American Latino.
This resolution urges the U.S. Congress to advance the creation of a National Museum of the American Latino at the Smithsonian on the National Mall. It specifically calls for reinstating the 2008 commission to develop the museum, noting that no national museum currently represents Latino contributions despite Latinos being the largest U.S. ethnic minority (60 million people, projected to be 25% of the population by 2060). The resolution does not create new laws but formally requests Congress take action, with copies sent to all New Jersey congressional members and leadership. It highlights the absence of a dedicated Latino museum compared to existing African American and Native American national museums. The resolution takes immediate effect upon passage.
