Reuse Excess Property Act

HR 8276, the Reuse Excess Property Act, requires federal agencies to create and update internal policies for reusing excess property before purchasing new items. It mandates that agencies submit these policies to the General Services Administrator and make them publicly available online, including specific steps for checking existing property, evaluating suitability, and designating staff for this task. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress on excess property data and a summary of an interagency working group’s findings, plus a GAO report on agency purchases from Chinese manufacturers. The law expires after five years and does not authorize new funding.
