H.R. 7763, the Protecting American History Act, directs the Secretary of the Interior to restore interpretive and educational exhibits at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia that were removed from public display after January 21, 2026, within 15 days of the bill's enactment. The legislation prevents future removal, alteration, or destruction of exhibits at the park without explicit Congressional approval. This bill affects the National Park Service's management of the historical park and potentially impacts how the park presents its educational materials to the public. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the bill, and it establishes an immediate 15-day timeline for restoring any removed exhibits. The bill was introduced by Pennsylvania Representatives Boyle, Evans, and Scanlon and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
