Bill aims to improve cleanliness and management of public spaces nationwide.
The problem
Public spaces may suffer from poor maintenance, litter, and disorder, affecting community quality of life and safety perceptions.
The proposal
Establishes federal standards and programs for cleaning, maintaining, and managing public spaces to reduce disorder and improve conditions.
The impact
Affects cities, states, public space users, maintenance workers, and federal budgets through new standards and potential funding requirements.
Cleaner public spaces can reduce disease transmission and improve sanitation. Better maintenance may decrease pest populations and contamination issues.
Well-maintained spaces may discourage crime and antisocial behavior. Improved conditions can increase public confidence and encourage outdoor activities.
Clean areas attract businesses and visitors, boosting local economies. Better public spaces can increase property values and commercial activity.
Managing public spaces requires workers for cleaning and maintenance. This could create jobs in communities needing employment opportunities.
New federal programs require funding, increasing government spending. States and cities may face unfunded mandates to meet federal standards.
Federal standards may override local priorities and decision-making. Communities lose flexibility to manage spaces according to their needs.
Different communities have varying resources and needs. One-size-fits-all standards may not work effectively everywhere.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
