Smithsonian Facilities Authorization Act

Summary

Smithsonian Facilities Authorization Act - Amends Federal law to authorize the Board of Regents (Board) of the Smithsonian Institution to: (1) plan, design, construct, and equip additional special use storage and laboratory space (Pod 5) at the Museum Support Facility in Suitland, Maryland, to accommodate the care, preservation, conservation, deposit, and study of national collections held in trust by the Institution; and (2) plan, design, and construct improvements to the interior and exterior of the Patent Office Building (including the construction of a roof covering for the courtyard), using funds available to the Institution from nonappropriated sources. Authorizes the Secretary to establish a program for making voluntary separation incentive payments for employees of the Smithsonian Institution which is substantially similar to a specified program established under the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Declares the sense of Congress that the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History should be commended for establishing a Jazz Appreciation Month.
