Bill > S3091

This bill, known as the DISPOSAL Act, requires the Administrator of General Services to dispose of six specific federal buildings located in Washington, DC, including the Frances Perkins, James V. Forrestal, Theodore Roosevelt, Robert C. Weaver, Department of Agriculture South, and Hubert H. Humphrey Buildings. The Administrator may sell these buildings at fair market value or enter into a ground lease up to 99 years, with the discretion to include provisions such as relocating current federal agency occupants or leasing back the building for up to 5 years. The bill exempts these disposals from certain federal requirements like environmental and historic preservation reviews, and prohibits selling or leasing to foreign entities. The Administrator has sole authority to select new locations for relocated agencies, must consult with agency heads, and is prohibited from creating custom "build-to-suit" leases. Net proceeds from the sales will first cover implementation costs and then be deposited into the Treasury to reduce the deficit. The bill includes provisions for potentially adding up to 20 additional underutilized federal buildings to the disposal list each year and provides a sunset date of December 31, 2028, for these disposal authorities. Importantly, the bill precludes judicial review of actions taken under its provisions.
