Bill Summary
This is a bill that has been proposed to the United States Congress to designate a specific federal building located at 985 Michigan Avenue in Detroit, Michigan as the "Rosa Parks Federal Building". This means that the building will be officially named and recognized as such. The bill also states that any reference to the building in any official document or record will now be referred to as the "Rosa Parks Federal Building". Additionally, this bill repeals two previous laws that were in place regarding this building's designation.
Possible Impacts
1. This legislation would affect the people of Detroit, Michigan, as the designated federal building is located there. They may feel honored or proud to have a building named after a civil rights icon like Rosa Parks.
2. This legislation may also affect the people who work in the federal building, as they will now have a new name and may have to update their own documents and records to reflect the change.
3. The legislation could also affect people who are researching or referencing the federal building, as they will need to update their information to reflect the new name of the building. This could impact historians, journalists, and other professionals who rely on accurate information.
