Plain-English Summary

The federal government would need to get approval from Congress before selling, giving away, or transferring any government-owned buildings or land that have historical importance. This would prevent federal agencies from quietly disposing of historically significant properties without lawmakers having a say in what happens to them. The requirement would apply to all types of transfers, whether the property is being sold to private buyers, transferred to other agencies, or declared surplus.
