Sponsored By: Representative Malliotakis, Nicole [R-NY-11]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would authorize the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino to be located within the National Mall Reserve. It would also require the museum to present a broad range of Hispanic and Latino political viewpoints and lived experiences when creating or revising exhibits and programs.

Show full summary
  • Hispanic and Latino communities and visitors: The Board of Trustees must ensure exhibits and programs accurately reflect varied cultures, histories, events, and values and must seek guidance from a defined "broad array" of knowledgeable and respected sources.
  • Smithsonian and other federal agencies: The bill would allow placement of the museum on the Mall Reserve and changes site-designation rules so affected agencies must be notified, inform specified congressional committees, and transfer administrative jurisdiction to the Smithsonian as soon as practicable.
  • Congressional oversight and planning: The Secretary of the Smithsonian must report to named House and Senate committees within 120 days of enactment and every two years after that on steps taken to comply, including substantial exhibit revisions and future planning.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Allow Latino museum on National Mall

If enacted, this would allow the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino to be placed inside the Reserve of the National Mall, even where other rules now block it. The Board of Regents would need to notify any federal agency that runs a chosen site before designating it. That agency would then promptly notify key congressional committees and transfer the land or building to the Smithsonian as soon as practicable. These changes would be treated as if they took effect with the 2021 law that set up the museum.

Balanced exhibits and reports for museum

If enacted, the Board of Trustees would ensure exhibits and programs fully and accurately reflect Hispanic and Latino communities. The Board would seek advice from a broad array of respected sources with diverse political viewpoints and lived experiences for new exhibits and major changes. The Secretary would report to Congress within 120 days and then every two years on steps taken, including updates to current exhibits and future plans.
