What it does
The bill lets NASA start a pilot program. Private companies give money, equipment, or services to repair NASA buildings. NASA uses those gifts to fix facilities. Companies get back unused money. NASA must tell Congress each year how much it spent.
Who it affects
Private companies that work with NASA benefit from better facilities. The public benefits if NASA's aging buildings get fixed faster.
One thing to notice
The bill does not require NASA to tell the public about private company deals. It does not say how much each company pays.
