Federal Facilities Protection and Oversight Act of 2025
Washington, DC Federal Buildings: Congress Must Approve Major Changes
Legislative Progress
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.
