STATEMENT TO
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION No. 104
with committee amendments
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: OCTOBER 24, 2024
The Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic
Preservation Committee reports favorably and with committee
amendments Senate Joint Resolution No. 104.
As amended by the committee, this joint resolution urges the
United States Congress to continue progress on the National
Museum of the American Latino.
While there are national museums dedicated to African-
Americans and Native Americans, there is no national museum
dedicated to American Latinos. This resolution urges Congress to
reinstate the 2008 commission to explore the creation of a museum
dedicated to American Latinos and advocate for its creation as part
of the Smithsonian Institution with the museum’s location to be on
the National Mall in Washington D.C. A National Museum will
provide a space to celebrate the rich culture of Latinos and their
contributions to the United States.
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS :
The committee amended the resolution to make a technical change.
