Commission To Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of American LGBTQI+ History and Culture Act
HR 6102 establishes a nonpartisan commission to study the feasibility of creating a National Museum of American LGBTQI+ History and Culture. The 8-member commission, appointed by congressional leaders, will assess costs, location options, governance, fundraising needs, and potential impacts on existing museums, with reports due within 18 months. Crucially, the bill prohibits federal funding for the commission’s work and requires a fundraising plan to support the museum’s future operation without relying on ongoing government appropriations. The commission’s findings will inform future legislative action but do not authorize the museum’s creation. This is a study-only measure, not a funding or construction bill.
