A bill to amend title 40, United States Code, to prohibit the Administrator of General Services from constructing or acquiring public buildings or entering into leases based on the legality or availability of abortion, and for other purposes.
This bill prohibits the Administrator of General Services from considering the legality or availability of abortion when making decisions about federal buildings. Specifically, it amends federal law to ban the GSA from factoring abortion laws into building acquisitions, construction projects, or lease agreements for government properties. The key provision adds explicit language to multiple sections of Title 40, stating the Administrator "shall not consider the legality or availability of abortion" in these decisions. It directly affects how the federal government manages its physical infrastructure, ensuring building-related decisions are not influenced by state abortion laws. The bill does not change abortion policy but restricts one specific federal agency's decision-making criteria.
