Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
This bill makes modest changes to the time capsule requirements established by the 2016 United States Semiquincentennial Commission Act, which relates to the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations. The legislation specifies that the time capsule must be installed at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia on July 4, 2026, and clarifies that the capsule will be "opened" rather than "unearthed" at a future date. The bill was introduced by Representative Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania along with four bipartisan co-sponsors and was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. No specific federal funding is mentioned in the legislation. These are technical amendments to clarify the logistics and terminology for the ceremonial time capsule associated with America's semiquincentennial, or 250-year anniversary, celebration.
