This bill directs the Comptroller General of the United States, who leads the Government Accountability Office (GAO), to conduct a review of accessibility compliance in federal office buildings. Specifically, it requires a report examining whether all office buildings controlled by the General Services Administration (GSA) meet the accessibility standards required under the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968. This law mandates that federal buildings be accessible to people with disabilities, and this bill seeks to verify that GSA-managed facilities actually comply with those requirements. The report must be delivered to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works within one year of the bill becoming law. The legislation primarily affects federal agencies overseeing building compliance and aims to benefit people with disabilities who use or work in federal office buildings by identifying accessibility gaps that need to be addressed.
