Plain Language Summary

# Summary of HR 4558 **What the Bill Does** This bill would rename a small section of 16th Street Northwest in Washington, D.C. to "Oswaldo Payá Way." The renamed area would be located between Fuller Street Northwest and Euclid Street Northwest. This is a commemorative designation that honors a specific individual through a street name change in the nation's capital. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill primarily affects Washington, D.C. residents and visitors in that neighborhood, as it would change local street signage and addresses in the designated area.

The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but not yet voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, a Republican from Florida. **Note:** The bill summary does not include information about who Oswaldo Payá was or why this commemoration was proposed. To fully understand the bill's purpose, one would need additional context about the person being honored.
