This legislation aims to safeguard publicly commissioned art located on federal surplus property by establishing a structured preservation process. It mandates that the General Services Administration (GSA) determine if any federal real property designated as surplus contains "covered art" within 30 days of its surplus determination. If such art is found, the GSA must notify appropriate congressional committees and local Members of Congress within 60 days. A key provision of the bill is the establishment of a Preservation Committee for each covered surplus property, to be formed at least 90 days before any demolition, transfer, or disposal. This committee, comprising 3 to 6 members including GSA fine arts and historic preservation experts, as well as art conservation specialists, is tasked with developing a comprehensive preservation plan. The GSA must provide the committee with its proposed action plan or alternatives for the property. Within 90 days of its establishment, the Preservation Committee must submit a preservation plan to the GSA and Congress, outlining strategies to preserve the covered artwork to the maximum extent possible, which may include preservation covenants or relocating the art. This plan must then be made publicly available on the GSA website for at least 90 days. Crucially, the GSA is prohibited from disposing of, demolishing, or outleasing any covered surplus property unless a preservation plan is complete and the Administrator certifies that the artwork will remain publicly accessible under future ownership or tenancy. The bill defines "covered art" as artwork owned by the Federal Government and managed by the GSA Fine Arts Program within the preceding five years, specifically including works commissioned under New Deal programs or the GSA Art in Architecture program. This ensures that significant historical and cultural assets are protected and remain available for public enjoyment.
