Statue Removal Rules: State Congressional Delegation Approval Required.

This bill introduces new rules for removing statues from the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol. To remove a statue, approval from at least two-thirds of the state's congressional delegation will be required. This aims to ensure that decisions about changes to the collection are made with broad support from state representatives.
Key points
Changes to statue removal rules: Statues from the National Statuary Hall cannot be removed without 2/3 approval from the state's congressional delegation.
Increased state control: States gain more influence over which statues represent them in the Capitol.
