H.Res. 582 creates an advisory working group tasked with recommending two women whose portrait reliefs should be added to the Hall of the House of Representatives, where portraits of historical lawgivers are displayed above the public gallery doors. The working group will consist of House officials including the Clerk, Curators, relevant committee leaders, and members of the Congressional Bipartisan Women's Caucus. The group must develop recommendations on which women to honor, how to fund and commission their portraits, where to install them (including whether to replace existing portraits), and a timeline for installation that minimizes disruption to House business. The working group will consult with scholars in law and women's history, as well as Library of Congress staff, and must submit its report to House leadership and the Committee on House Administration within one year or by the end of the 119th Congress, whichever comes first.
