Federal Naming Standards Act

This bill would bar naming or renaming any federal building, facility, or program after an elected official or political appointee from the time they take office until 10 years after they leave. For a person who earns more than $1,000,000 a year (adjusted for inflation) from commercial use of their name, image, or likeness, the ban would last until they no longer earn that amount. The ban would not apply to people who have died or to namings made before the bill becomes law. Each federal agency's inspector general would investigate complaints and report findings to the agency head and Congress within 90 days. Incidental uses of a name, such as in museum exhibits, educational materials, or press releases, would still be allowed.
