The bill would create a 23-member commission to study whether and how to establish a National Museum of Irish American History in Washington, DC. The commission would report on possible locations, collections, governance, community involvement, and the costs of building and maintaining a museum. It would also develop a public fundraising plan and get an independent review of that plan. The bill does not establish or authorize construction of the museum. The commission would send its reports and recommendations to Congress and the President, then end after submitting its final work.
The bill does not directly change services or requirements for individuals. It would create a process to study a possible museum and how it could be funded.
The bill authorizes $2.1 million for the commission for the first fiscal year after enactment and $1.1 million for the second. It does not set a cost for building or operating a museum; the commission would study those costs and develop a fundraising plan.
