Equality in the Halls of Congress Act

Summary

The bill permits American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to provide statues for the National Statuary Hall, just as the 50 states do. It amends the definition of “State” in a 2001 appropriations law and tasks the Architect of the Capitol with acquiring the statues. This gives the territories equal representation in the hall.
