S 5486 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Commission to Relocate the Federal Bureaucracy Act

S 5486 establishes a Commission to study relocating non-security federal agencies currently based in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to other U.S. locations. The Commission, composed of agency heads and key officials like the OMB Director and Cabinet Secretaries, will analyze factors such as cost of living, infrastructure, industry partnerships, and telework history. It must submit a report to Congress within one year, recommending potential relocations based on these criteria. This bill creates a study mechanism only - it does not mandate any actual relocations or changes to agency locations.
