Capitol Remembrance Act

The Capitol Remembrance Act would direct the Architect of the Capitol to create and display a permanent exhibit in a prominent location within the U.S. Capitol building that documents the January 6, 2021 attack. The exhibit would preserve damaged property from the attack where possible and include existing photographs and records related to the event.

The bill would also require a plaque honoring U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement officers who defended the building, individuals who died or were injured protecting the Capitol, and staff members who helped restore the Capitol complex following the attack. If enacted, the exhibit would need to be installed within two years.

Currently, this bill has been introduced in the House and referred to committee for consideration. It has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
