Requesting the Secretary of the Interior to authorize unique and one-time arrangements for displays on the National Mall and the Washington Monument during the period beginning on December 31, 2025, and ending on January 5, 2026.

# Summary of HJRES 133 **What the Bill Does** This bill, which has been signed into law, grants special permission for unique displays to be set up on the National Mall and around the Washington Monument during New Year's week 2025-2026 (December 31, 2025 through January 5, 2026). Normally, the National Mall has strict rules about what can be displayed there, so this law creates a one-time exception to those standard regulations for this specific period. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill gives the Secretary of the Interior authority to approve these special arrangements. While the bill doesn't specify exactly what displays would be shown, the timing suggests this is related to New Year's celebrations and potentially commemorative events.

This affects anyone visiting the National Mall during that week, as well as organizers who want to set up displays in this iconic location. **Current Status** The bill has already been signed into law, meaning it is official and in effect. It was sponsored by Representative Robert Aderholt (R-AL) during the 119th Congress.
