What this bill does
This bill, the Federal Facilities Indoor Air Quality Assessment Act, would require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a comprehensive review of indoor air quality, ventilation, and heating and air conditioning (HVAC) performance in all Federal buildings and real property. The review would examine how well these facilities meet applicable standards, assess policies and procedures for monitoring air quality, identify deficiencies, and evaluate existing mechanisms for addressing them. It would also look at the qualifications of workers performing HVAC-related tasks.
The review is intended to inform Congress about the state of indoor air quality in Federal facilities. Federal departments and agencies would be affected by this review, as they would need to provide information and potentially develop corrective action plans if material deficiencies are identified.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It has not yet been voted on by the committee or the full House. If passed by the House and then the Senate, it would become law. The Comptroller General would then have 12 months to complete and submit the report to Congress, followed by a six-month period for agencies to submit corrective action plans if needed.
