Capitol would get a lasting exhibit honoring January 6 defenders and staff.

This bill would set up a lasting exhibit in the U.S. Capitol. It would show the attack on January 6, 2021. The exhibit would honor police and staff who protected the Capitol and helped fix it. People visiting the Capitol would see damaged items and photos from that day.

What Would Change

Today, there is no federal law requiring a permanent exhibit in the U.S. Capitol about the January 6, 2021 attack. If this bill passes, the Architect of the Capitol would be directed to design and install such an exhibit within two years, including damaged property, photos, and a plaque honoring law enforcement and staff.
