A bill to designate the area of Sumner Row between 16th Street and Northwest and L Street Northwest in Washington, District of Columbia, as "Alexi Navalny Way".

# Bill Summary: Alexi Navalny Way Designation **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would officially rename a section of Sumner Row in Washington, D.C.—specifically the area between 16th Street Northwest and L Street Northwest—to "Alexi Navalny Way." The change would be purely symbolic, creating a tribute to Navalny, a Russian opposition politician and critic of the Russian government who died in prison in 2024. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The designation would primarily affect Washington, D.C. residents and visitors to that area, as it would change street signage and official city maps. The bill is sponsored by Senator Richard Durbin (D-Illinois) and reflects congressional recognition of Navalny's activism and death.

Such street designations are typically honorary gestures that do not involve funding or operational changes. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. Bills at this stage may advance to a floor vote, be modified, or remain inactive depending on committee priorities and legislative scheduling.
