This bill would change the rules for the federal Commission of Fine Arts so that most of its members must live in Washington, DC. The Commission advises on the design of buildings, memorials, and public art in the nation’s capital. The goal is to ensure more local voices help shape how DC looks and feels day to day.

Key points:

Who is affected: The Commission of Fine Arts and people who live in or visit Washington, DC.
What changes: A majority of Commission members must be DC residents; they are still appointed by the President.
When: The change takes effect one year after the law is enacted.
