Rogue US Laws

Public Law 92-313 established the Federal Buildings Fund in 1972. The fund is designed to produce sufficient funds for space rentals, new construction, major repairs and improvements, and the operation and maintenance of space.

Back in 1972, Congress included a special provision in the Public Buildings Amendments - otherwise known as Public Law 92-313.

If you've never heard of it don't worry, you're not alone. When Public Law 92-313 was passed, it wasn't exactly a headline grabber.

It was sandwiched between a law authorizing the sale of land to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and an appropriations bill for the Atomic Energy Commission. So it was easy to overlook on Congress' legislative schedule.

Now I’m getting emails inviting me to learn how to scam PL 92-313 to get “rent checks”. This is a disgrace.

Congress needs to stop passing laws buried in other laws. Safeguards for preventing corruption can only be included if the laws are reviewed on a stand-alone basis. Rogue Amendments attached to unrelated Bills should not be allowed.
