To direct the Joint Committee on the Library to procure a statue of Benjamin Franklin for placement in the Capitol.

H.R. 250 would direct the Joint Committee on the Library to contract for and place a statue of Benjamin Franklin in the U.S. Capitol building. The statue would be positioned in a permanent public location that visitors can access during guided tours offered by the Capitol Visitor Center. This would add to the Capitol's collection of statuary commemorating important figures in American history.

The bill establishes specific timelines for implementation. The Joint Committee on the Library would need to execute the contract for the statue by December 31, 2025, and complete the installation by December 31, 2026. These deadlines would ensure the project moves forward on a defined schedule.

For everyday citizens, this bill would result in a new historical monument being added to one of the nation's most visited buildings. Tourists and Capitol visitors would be able to view the Benjamin Franklin statue as part of their tour experience, adding another educational element to visits to the Capitol. The practical impact would be minimal for most Americans, as it primarily affects the Capitol's physical collection and visitor experience.
