Requires federal agencies to protect public art when selling government buildings.
This bill would require the General Services Administration (GSA) to identify and protect publicly commissioned art when federal buildings are sold or torn down. It would create a process to ensure this art remains available for the public to see, rather than being lost or hidden.
Today, there is no specific process for the General Services Administration (GSA) to protect publicly commissioned art when federal buildings are sold or torn down. If this bill becomes law, the GSA would be required to identify this art, create a committee to plan its preservation, and ensure the art remains publicly accessible before any property is disposed of.
