What this bill would do

The "Democracy in Design Act" directs the Administrator of General Services to ensure public building designs follow the "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture" from a June 1, 1962, report. The Administrator must create regulations to implement these principles and set minimum design standards for public buildings. These regulations must be developed within 180 days of the Act's enactment. The process requires notice and an opportunity for public comment.
