MOVE Act of 2023

The MOVE Act of 2023 requires federal agencies with underused offices (using ≤9% of their building capacity, as identified in a July 2023 GAO report) to consolidate into the GSA Headquarters Building in Washington, D.C., aiming for at least 60% building utilization. It mandates a consolidation plan within one year of enactment, with implementation starting one year after plan submission. If consolidation isn’t completed within three years, GSA must move its staff to another federal building and prepare the GSA Headquarters Building for sale at fair market value. Proceeds from sales would go to the Federal Buildings Fund, with no specified new spending. This directly affects agencies using minimal office space and the GSA’s headquarters property.
