A bill to designate the Federal building located at 300 West Congress Street in Tucson, Arizona, as the "Raul M. Grijalva Federal Building".
Summary
SB 2319 is a commemorative naming bill that designates the federal building at 300 West Congress Street in Tucson, Arizona, as the “Raul M. Grijalva Federal Building.” The bill also provides that any future reference in federal law, maps, regulations, documents, papers, or other records to that building will be understood to mean the renamed facility.
The measure does not create a new program, authorize spending, or change substantive policy. Its legal effect is limited to updating the official federal name of a single building and ensuring consistency across federal records and references. The bill was reported by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works without amendment and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar.
Impact
The bill would amend federal nomenclature only, affecting references to the Tucson federal building in official government materials and records. It has no direct impact on state law, regulatory authority, or private parties beyond the symbolic and administrative effect of renaming a federal property. Agencies and documents that refer to the building would need to use the new designation after enactment.
Sentiment
Available legislative history suggests broad, noncontroversial support. The bill was reported out of committee without amendment, and there are no recorded votes or committee transcripts indicating opposition or debate. The absence of amendments or recorded dissent is consistent with a routine honorary naming measure.
Contention
There is no documented substantive contention in the available record. Because the bill is a naming resolution rather than a policy change, any discussion would likely center on the appropriateness of honoring Raul M. Grijalva and the use of a federal building for that purpose, but no specific objections or competing views appear in the provided materials.
