Bill Summary
This bill sets a limit on the amount of funds that can be allocated for the facilities capital of the Related Agencies branch of the Smithsonian Institution for the fiscal year 2024. It specifies that this limit cannot exceed $210,000,000. This limitation supersedes any other provisions in the law regarding the funding for this branch.
Possible Impacts
1. The limitation on availability of funds could affect employees of the Smithsonian Institution by potentially leading to budget cuts, reduced salaries, or even job loss if the institution is not able to operate with the reduced budget.
2. This legislation could also affect visitors to the Smithsonian Institution by limiting the funds available for new exhibits, renovations, and maintenance. This could result in a decrease in the quality and variety of exhibitions and potentially impact the overall experience for visitors.
3. The limitation on funds could also have an impact on the local community surrounding the Smithsonian Institution. With less money available for capital projects, there may be a decrease in job opportunities and economic growth in the area. Additionally, the community may not have access to new and updated facilities within the institution.
