Government building and repair projects would get faster approval for three years.
This bill would temporarily raise the dollar amounts for federal building and repair projects that need special approval from Congress. For three years, from budget year 2026 through 2028, many projects would no longer need this detailed review. This could speed up work for federal agencies and contractors.
Today, federal building and repair projects over $1.5 million (or $750,000 for some) need a detailed plan, called a prospectus, approved by Congress. These amounts are also adjusted yearly. If this bill passes, for budget years 2026 through 2028, thresholds would temporarily increase to $10 million (or $5 million for some projects). These new amounts would not be adjusted for inflation during that period.
