A bill to designate the Federal building located at 300 West Congress Street in Tucson, Arizona, as the "Raul M. Grijalva Federal Building".

Plain-English Summary

This bill would officially rename a federal government building in Tucson, Arizona, in honor of Raul M. Grijalva. Specifically, the building located at 300 West Congress Street in Tucson would receive the formal designation of the "Raul M. Grijalva Federal Building." This type of legislation is a common and routine way for Congress to recognize individuals of historical or civic significance by attaching their names to public buildings.

Raul M. Grijalva is a longtime Arizona politician who represented Arizona's 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives for over two decades before retiring. He was known for his work on issues related to public lands, the environment, labor, and his connections to the Tucson community where he was raised and built his political career.

The bill has moved through the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works — the committee that typically handles federal building designations — and has been placed on the Senate's legislative calendar, meaning it is eligible to be voted on by the full Senate. If passed by both chambers of Congress and signed into law, the change would be purely symbolic in nature, affecting only the official name of the building. It would not alter the building's operations, staffing, or any government services provided there, and it would have no direct financial impact on taxpayers.
