Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress would require the General Services Administration to design federal public buildings using a set of guiding principles written in 1962.
- The agency would have to write new design rules within 180 days after the bill becomes law, including minimum design standards for federal buildings.
- This could affect how future federal buildings look and function, like courthouses, office buildings, and other federally owned public spaces.
- The rule-writing process must include public notice and a chance for people to comment before the rules are finalized.
