Bill > HR2046

This bill requires congressional approval before any federal official can sell, dispose of, declare excess or surplus, transfer, or convey a building or site with historical significance. Specifically, the bill mandates that any "specified official" (which includes the President, heads of federal agencies, and other federal officials) must first provide Congress with a notice of intent to transfer a "covered building" and then obtain congressional approval through a joint resolution before proceeding with the transfer. A "covered building" is defined as any land, building, structure, monument, or site owned by the United States that is currently or has ever been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The purpose of this legislation appears to be protecting historically significant federal properties from being sold or transferred without explicit congressional oversight, ensuring that important cultural and historical sites are not disposed of without careful consideration by elected representatives.
