Key Points

Congress would have to explicitly approve tearing down or making major changes to certain federal buildings in Washington, DC.
Before a covered building could be demolished, there must already be a finalized plan for what will be built there next.
The bill defines “major changes” as work that affects a building’s structure, greatly changes its historic character, or crosses certain cost/size limits.
It also expands the National Capital Planning Commission’s review to clearly cover major building alterations, not just new development plans.
If one part of the law is struck down in court, the rest would still stay in effect.
