This concurrent resolution directs the Architect of the Capitol to design, construct, and maintain a motor vehicle gas price tracker in the Hall of the House of Representatives and the Chamber of the Senate. Each tracker must be adjusted on a continuous basis to reflect the average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline in each State and Territory. The resolution bars the use of appropriated Federal funds for the design, construction, or maintenance of the trackers. The Architect may accept, use, and dispose of gifts and bequests of money from individuals to pay for the trackers. The Architect must submit an annual report to the Speaker and the minority leader of the House and the majority and minority leaders of the Senate that accounts for the acceptance, use, and disposition of those gifts and bequests, including amounts and sources.
If passed, both the House and Senate chambers would have displays that show continuously updated average regular gasoline prices for every State and Territory. The resolution specifies where the trackers must be placed and how they must be updated. It does not describe who may view the trackers, how the averages are calculated, or how the trackers will be maintained day to day.
The resolution forbids using appropriated Federal funds for these trackers. The Architect may finance the trackers with gifts and bequests from individuals and must report annually on those funds. No publicly available information on estimated costs, total funding needs, or any private contributions is included in the text.
