Confederate Monument Removal Act
This bill requires the removal of statues in the U.S. Capitol that honor individuals who served with the Confederate States of America, as defined by an amendment to existing law. The Architect of the Capitol must identify and remove these statues within 120 days of enactment, with options to return them to the providing state (if requested and costs are covered) or store them in a nonpublic location. The bill appropriates $2 million for removal, transfer, storage, and related costs, and allows states to replace removed statues under standard Capitol display rules. It directly affects Capitol display policies and the states that provided the statues.
