Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
This bill orders federal agencies to move out of six large office buildings in Washington, DC within 18 months. After the move, the General Services Administration must sell those buildings for fair market value and their best use. The buildings are the USDA South Building, the Hubert H. Humphrey Building, the Frances Perkins Building, the James V. Forrestal Building, the Theodore Roosevelt Building, and the Robert C. Weaver Building . Sales cannot go to foreign buyers or entities with foreign beneficial owners .
Money from the sales first covers costs to carry out the plan, then the rest goes to the U.S. Treasury to help reduce the deficit. Agencies cannot buy or lease other space as part of this consolidation. The sales are exempt from certain review laws, including environmental review and historic preservation steps, and a requirement to first offer buildings for homeless assistance uses .
