Summary

National Health Museum Site Selection Act - Directs the Administrator of General Services to convey specified property to the National Health Museum, Inc. (the Museum), to provide a site for the construction and operation of a new building to serve as the National Health Museum. Prohibits any part of the property from being used for lobbying activities for 50 years. Requires the Museum to provide written notification to the Administrator of the date on which it will accept conveyance of the property. Sets forth provisions regarding the purchase price for the property, including requiring the Administrator to report it to the appropriate congressional committees and requiring that such amount be paid into, administered, and expended as part of the Federal Buildings Fund. Requires the Administrator, as a condition of such conveyance, to receive satisfactory assurances that: (1) the Museum will establish, operate, and maintain a satellite museum on Ellis Island, New Jersey, for the same purposes and subject to the same limitations as the National Health Museum; (2) such activities will be carried out in consultation with appropriate State and Federal departments and agencies and in conjunction with other redevelopment activities on Ellis Island; and (3) the Museum will commence construction of, or renovations of existing facilities for, such satellite museum. Provides for reversion of the property to the United States and repayment of the purchase price to the Museum if, during specified periods: (1) the Museum does not commence construction on the property, other than for a reason not within the Museum's control; (2) the property is used for a purpose other than construction and operation of the Museum; (3) the Museum does not commence construction or renovation of facilities for the satellite museum other than for a reason not within the Museum's control; or (4) the Museum ceases to be a tax- exempt nonprofit corporation. Permits the Museum to: (1) demolish or renovate any existing or future improvement on the property; (2) build, own, operate, and maintain new improvements on the property; (3) finance and mortgage the property on customary terms and conditions; and (4) manage the property. Requires the United States to cooperate with the Museum on any zoning or other matter relating to the development or improvement of the property, or the demolition of any improvement. Requires the costs of remediation of any environmental hazards existing on the property, including all asbestos-containing materials, to be borne by the United States. Requires the Museum to submit annual reports on the National Health Museum's status to the Administrator and appropriate congressional committees.
