Limits federal review of D.C. monuments
If enacted, this would narrow the Commission of Fine Arts' role in Washington, D.C. The Commission would only review sites that the federal government owns. It would not apply to the U.S. Capitol or Library of Congress buildings. It would not apply to District-owned or private property. D.C. officials and private owners could place statues, fountains, and monuments on nonfederal land without Commission review.
