S 353 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Commission to Relocate the Federal Bureaucracy Act

This bill (S 353) creates a federal commission to study relocating non-security federal agencies currently based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area to other parts of the U.S. The commission, made up of senior agency leaders, must evaluate factors like cost of living, infrastructure, existing industry partnerships, telework participation rates, and technology readiness in potential relocation sites. It must submit a report to Congress within one year, prioritizing a goal of moving at least 100,000 agency employees out of the DC area. The bill itself does not relocate agencies - it only establishes the study process.
