Directing the Texas Facilities Commission to name the new state building being constructed in Phase Two of the Texas Capitol Complex Master Plan at the northwest corner of Congress Avenue and 15th Street in honor of Texas Congressman and State Representative Mickey Leland.

This resolution directs the Texas Facilities Commission to name a new state building at the northwest corner of Congress Avenue and 15th Street (in Phase Two of the Texas Capitol Complex Master Plan) in honor of Mickey Leland. Leland was a Texas state representative (1972-1978) and U.S. congressman (1979-1989) who died in 1989. The bill commemorates his legacy, including his work on healthcare access, hunger relief, and civil rights advocacy during his legislative career. As a naming resolution, it has no policy impact beyond this tribute.
