Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill would require the General Services Administration to enter into a cooperative agreement with the National Children's Museum to provide free rental space in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The agreement would cover approximately 32,369 square feet and continue for the duration of the existing retail space license agreement from December 4, 2017, including any renewal options. The bill affects the National Children's Museum, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring children to care about and change the world, by eliminating its rent payments for this federal space. The funding for this arrangement would come from either the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation fund or the International Trade Center fund. The agreement would include provisions requiring the museum to maintain its nonprofit status and continue operating as a children's museum, while obligating it to submit annual operational and financial reports to Congress.
