H.R. 1807 would prohibit federal agencies and departments from relocating their headquarters out of the Washington, D.C. area without explicit approval from Congress through new legislation. The bill also requires that federal employees currently stationed in the National Capital region must remain there unless Congress passes a law authorizing their relocation. The measure applies to all federal entities with headquarters or employee positions in the region as of the bill's introduction on March 3, 2025. No specific funding is allocated in the legislation, as it functions as a restriction on executive branch authority rather than an appropriations bill. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for consideration.
