Democracy in Design Act

This bill would require the head of the General Services Administration (GSA) to make sure that federal public buildings in the United States are designed according to the "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture," a report issued on June 1, 1962. Within 180 days after the bill becomes law, GSA would have to issue regulations to carry out this requirement. Those regulations would also set minimum standards for how GSA designs public buildings. The public would get notice and a chance to comment before the regulations are issued.
