S 5589 United States Senate · 118th Congress

9/11 Memorial and Museum Act

This bill authorizes a one-time federal grant of $5-10 million to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum (operated by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) for its ongoing operations, security, and maintenance. It requires the museum to provide free admission to veterans, first responders, and victims' families, along with weekly free public hours, and to undergo annual financial audits. The grant is subject to congressional appropriations and mandates annual reports on fund usage to relevant congressional committees. The museum itself directly benefits, while visitors - particularly veterans, first responders, and the general public - experience immediate access changes.
