Requires Congress to approve major changes or demolition of federal buildings in Washington D.C.
This bill would make sure Congress has the final say before federal buildings in Washington D.C. are torn down or significantly changed. It would also require a construction plan to be ready before any demolition. This affects federal agencies and the National Capital Planning Commission by adding new steps to their building projects.
Today, federal agencies can demolish or make major changes to public buildings in Washington D.C. without direct Congressional approval. This bill would require express Congressional authority for such actions and an approved construction plan for demolitions. It would also expand the National Capital Planning Commission's oversight to explicitly include substantial alterations and architectural integrity.
