This bill requires each federal executive agency to relocate at least 30 percent of its headquarters employees to offices outside the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area within one year of enactment. Relocated employees will have their pay adjusted to match their new location's pay rates and will no longer be permitted to work full-time from home. The bill also directs the Office of Management and Budget to require a 30 percent reduction in headquarters office space within two years, with priority given to selling buildings and consolidating agency locations. Agencies must report their implementation plans within 180 days and include workforce information in future budget justifications. The legislation exempts national security positions and employees with disabilities who require full-time telework accommodations, and it prohibits providing relocation incentives to affected employees. No specific funding is appropriated, and the bill prohibits any private lawsuits challenging the relocations.
