9/11 Memorial and Museum Act

Summary: 9/11 Memorial and Museum Act

This bill deals with the National September 11 Memorial and Museum located in New York City at the site of the former World Trade Center. While no official description was provided with the bill, legislation with this title typically addresses the federal government's relationship with, funding for, or oversight of this memorial site, which honors the nearly 3,000 people killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The bill passed the House of Representatives by voice vote — meaning members voted verbally rather than by recorded individual votes — and has been sent to the Senate, where it was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for further review. The relatively smooth passage in the House, including the use of a process to suspend normal rules, suggests the bill was considered largely uncontroversial among House members.

Because no official bill text or description was made available, it is not possible to provide specific details about exactly what changes or actions this legislation would require.
