Latest action on H.R. 2306: Received in the Senate.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the Adams Memorial Commission, federal officials who approve monuments, and people who use or manage the National Mall area. It also matters to visitors and historians who care about how the Adams family is honored in Washington, D.C.

Why this matters: The Adams Memorial could lose its legal path forward without more time. This bill keeps the project moving and updates where it can be built. The site rules matter because space near the National Mall is limited and symbolic. The bill tries to balance finishing the memorial with federal rules that guide new monuments in Washington, D.C.

Key provisions in H.R. 2306

• The Adams Memorial Commission would get until 2032 to keep working. Current law would end its authority in 2025.
• The extension would count as already active on December 1, 2025. That avoids a gap in the Commission’s legal power.
• The Adams Memorial could keep moving forward through 2032. This applies even though federal law normally sets a time limit for national memorial projects under title 40, section 8908(c) of the U.S. Code.
• The memorial would have to use the mapped “Adams Memorial: Eligible Additional Area.” The Commission defined that area on a February 25, 2025 map, unless the site is unsafe or does not work for physical or security reasons.
• The Commission could use a backup site in the Reserve if the main mapped area does not work. The Reserve is a central part of the National Mall area defined in federal law.
