Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill would require that a majority of the members serving on the Commission of Fine Arts be residents of the District of Columbia. The Commission of Fine Arts is a federal agency that provides design review and advice on significant construction projects in Washington, D.C. Currently, there are no residency requirements for commission members, who are appointed by the President. The change would take effect one year after the bill becomes law, allowing time for the transition to occur as current members' terms end and new appointments are made. The legislation does not include any new funding or budgetary provisions.
