DC government and private owners would get more say over statues and projects on their land.
This bill would stop a federal agency from controlling statues, fountains, and other projects on non-federal land in Washington, D.C. The D.C. government and private property owners would gain more control over what happens on their own land.
Today, the Commission of Fine Arts has authority over where statues, fountains, and monuments are placed across the District of Columbia, and this power can extend to some non-federal properties. If this bill becomes law, the Commission of Fine Arts would only have authority over federal government-owned properties in D.C. It would no longer have any say over properties owned by the District of Columbia government or by private citizens and businesses.
