U.S. House passes bill to designate Pulse nightclub as a national memorial to 'continue to honor the 49 angels' who were killed during the 2016 mass shooting
- H.R.3094 passed on Friday by a voice vote after first being proposed last June by Representatives Stephanie Murphy, Darren Soto and Val Demings
- The designation comes more than four years after 49 people were killed in the gay club in Orlando
- The bill gives the nightclub federal status and establishes a memorial and museum at the site
- It also allows the memorial to still be run independently by the onePULSE Foundation, the nonprofit started by Barbara Poma, owner of the club
