Bill overview
This bill would require Congress to approve the sale, disposal, or transfer of any U.S. Federal property that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Currently, officials can often handle these transactions without congressional oversight. The bill mandates that a notice of intent to sell or transfer such property be provided to Congress, followed by a joint resolution of approval. This aims to ensure that historically significant federal properties are not sold or transferred without consideration of their historical value.
