HR1390: HR1390 State Government; action to protect statue of Juliette Gordon Low within the Juliette Gordon Low Building; urge

The Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex in Savannah, completed in 1986, was one of the first federal buildings named after a woman. It honors Juliette Gordon Low, who founded Girl Scouts of the USA in 1912, an organization that has included about 60 million American women over 114 years. The building contains a small statue of Low. This resolution states that if the building is ever demolished, preserving the statue in the resulting green space, or donating it to the City of Savannah, would help honor and commemorate the history of the Girl Scouts. The House formally resolves to urge action protecting the statue and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.

• Urges unspecified parties to take action to protect the statue of Juliette Gordon Low located in the Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex in Savannah.
• States that preserving the statue in green space created by any future demolition of the building, or donating it to the City of Savannah, would honor Girl Scouts history.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.
• Creates no new law, funding, or enforcement mechanism; it is a nonbinding expression of the House's position.

The statement mainly concerns the Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex in Savannah, the statue of Juliette Gordon Low housed there, the City of Savannah, and Girl Scouts of the USA, whose founder the building and statue honor.

Because this is a resolution rather than a bill, it does not change Georgia law or require anyone to act. Its practical effect is to put the House's support on record for preserving the statue, which could carry weight if federal or local officials later decide the building's fate.

• The whereas clauses describe the history of the Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex, completed in 1986, and its connection to Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low.
• The resolved clause states the House urges action to protect the statue within the building.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
