Commission of Fine Arts District of Columbia Residency Act

HR 4956, the Commission of Fine Arts District of Columbia Residency Act, requires that a majority of members on the Commission of Fine Arts be residents of the District of Columbia. The Commission advises the federal government on the design of buildings and monuments in Washington, D.C., currently without a residency requirement for appointees. This bill amends the law so that when the President appoints members, the majority must reside in the District of Columbia. The change takes effect one year after the bill is enacted.
