Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This bill establishes a commission to study moving federal agencies out of the Washington, D.C. area to other parts of the country. The commission will be made up of high-ranking officials from the White House and various federal departments, and it will have one year from the bill's enactment to submit its recommendations to Congress. The study will focus on non-security agencies and will consider factors like lower costs of living, existing infrastructure, local industries that could partner with the agencies, and whether the agency workforce has experience with remote work. The commission's goal is to identify which agencies could be relocated and where they might be moved based on practical and financial considerations. This legislation does not authorize actual relocations, but rather directs the commission to gather information and make recommendations for Congress to consider.
