H.R. 9849: Tuskegee Airmen Memorial Act of 2026

This bill would authorize Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. to establish a commemorative work on federal land in the District of Columbia or nearby areas to honor the original Tuskegee Airmen, the Black military pilots and support personnel who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II.

What the bill allows

  • Gives Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. permission to create a memorial or similar commemorative work.
  • Requires the project to follow the rules in the federal Commemorative Works Act, which governs how memorials are approved, sited, and built on federal land.

Funding and costs

  • The bill says no federal funds may be used to pay for the memorial.
  • Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. would be responsible for collecting donations and paying the costs of planning, building, and establishing the memorial.
  • If any money remains after the memorial is completed, including required maintenance and preservation funding, the leftover funds must be sent to the Secretary of the Interior for the proper memorial-related account.
  • If unused funds remain after the authority to build the memorial expires, those funds would be transferred to a National Park Foundation account for memorials and used through the normal federal process.

Budget rules

  • The bill includes a standard provision saying its budget effects would be measured under existing PAYGO procedures before a final vote.
