Improving Government Efficiency and Workforce Development through Federal Executive Boards Act of 2023
This bill establishes Federal Executive Boards in geographic areas outside Washington, DC, to coordinate federal agencies with significant field operations. It requires each board to include senior representatives from local agencies and focuses on improving workforce development, emergency preparedness, and interagency collaboration. The legislation mandates a minimum $15 million annual fund (adjusted for inflation) to cover staffing and operations, with contributions based on agency employee counts in each region. These boards will directly affect federal agencies with field offices, state/local governments, and educational institutions collaborating on workforce initiatives like apprenticeships and recruitment.
