The Returning SBA to Main Street Act of 2025 requires the Small Business Administration to relocate at least 30 percent of its headquarters employees from the Washington D.C. area to regional offices across the country, but only if the SBA Administrator determines this move would reduce costs to the federal government. The bill affects SBA headquarters staff, who would see their pay adjusted to reflect their new local pay scales and would lose full-time telework privileges. The legislation mandates that the SBA reduce its headquarters office space by at least 30 percent and prioritize geographic diversity, including rural areas, when selecting new duty station locations. The SBA must submit a relocation plan to Congress within 180 days of the bill's enactment, begin employee relocations within one year, and complete the office space reduction within two years, with no relocation incentives provided to affected employees.
