U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith is an original co-sponsor of H.R. 1986, the Bird-Safe Buildings Act. He issued the following statement:
“The Bird-Safe Buildings Act would help reduce the number of bird collisions with buildings, a problem with significant consequences for bird populations and the environment at large. It encourages changes to the design of newly constructed or renovated public buildings that will have minimal impact on the budget but considerable benefits for birds and the ecosystems in which they exist.”
The Bird-Safe Buildings Act is budget-neutral legislation that would require the General Services Administration to incorporate bird-safe building materials and designs to the fullest extent possible into each public building it constructs, acquires, or significantly alters.
