What this amendment would do

Mr. Durbin submitted this amendment, numbered SA 2587, to be proposed to the bill H.R. 1. Common sense tells us we need to keep our elected officials accountable for how government property is handled, and this amendment is all about protecting and preserving patriotic artwork in federal buildings.

Key Changes and Additions

Here is what this amendment aims to change or add to the bill:

  • It defines key terms, including the Administrator, patriotic artwork (which means artwork acquired and owned or managed by the Fine Arts Collection of the General Services Administration), and public buildings (which includes certain federal buildings, buildings leased by the Federal Government, and buildings located in a foreign country).

  • It requires the Administrator to ensure that not fewer than 30 dedicated employees of the General Services Administration are available to track, maintain, and protect patriotic artwork in public buildings, regardless of any other provision of law.

  • It requires the Administrator to establish a process for the disposition or lease of patriotic artwork.
