Plain Language Summary
# HR 6750 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 6750 would write into federal law the requirements from Executive Order 14388, which focuses on improving government buildings and public spaces through better design. Rather than relying on an executive order that could be changed by a future president, this bill would make these design standards a permanent part of the law. The order emphasizes creating more aesthetically pleasing and functional federal buildings, with attention to architecture, urban planning, and how these spaces serve the public. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects federal agencies responsible for constructing and maintaining government buildings and public spaces.
It would require these agencies to prioritize thoughtful design principles when planning new buildings or renovating existing ones. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, the underlying executive order generally promotes classical and traditional architectural styles for federal buildings and encourages coordination between design professionals and communities. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Erin Houchin (R-IN).
