Equality in the Halls of Congress Act

This bill would allow five U.S. territories and commonwealths to provide statues for the National Statuary Hall Collection in the U.S. Capitol. The five are American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Their statues would have to follow the same specifications that apply to statues provided by the states. The bill would also count these five places as states under the law covering the replacement of statues in the collection. The Architect of the Capitol would be directed to take the steps needed to acquire the statues.
