Bill > HR1584

This bill requires the Administrator of General Services (the head of the federal agency responsible for managing government buildings) to ensure that the design of public buildings in the United States follows the "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture," a report originally published by the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space in 1962. The Administrator must create new regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment, which will establish minimum design standards for public buildings and go through a standard public comment process. The bill aims to provide consistent guidelines for the architectural design of federal buildings, potentially ensuring that these structures reflect certain aesthetic, functional, or symbolic principles outlined in the original 1962 report. By codifying these guidelines into law, the bill seeks to create a more structured approach to designing government buildings across the United States, potentially promoting a more unified and intentional architectural vision for federal infrastructure.
