Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
The Returning SBA to Main Street Act requires the Small Business Administration to relocate at least 30 percent of its headquarters employees to offices outside the Washington metropolitan area within one year of the bill's enactment. Relocated employees will have their pay adjusted to reflect their new duty station's pay locality and will no longer be authorized to work full-time from home, though employees with disabilities who receive telework as a reasonable accommodation are exempt from relocation. The SBA must also reduce its headquarters office space by at least 30 percent within two years and submit reports to Congress detailing the number of headquarters versus field office employees, as well as full-time teleworkers. The bill aims to disperse the agency geographically across its regional offices while maintaining customer service capacity, with no relocation incentives provided to affected employees.
