What it does
The Democracy in Design Act would direct the Administrator of General Services to ensure that the design of public buildings in the United States adheres to the guiding principles for Federal architecture outlined in a 1962 report by the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space. It amends existing law to require the Administrator to promulgate regulations within 180 days of enactment to implement these principles and establish minimum design standards for public buildings, following a notice-and-comment rulemaking process. The bill affects federal public building design and the General Services Administration’s oversight responsibilities.
