Increased transparency for federal agency relocations: mandatory cost-benefit analysis.
This Act mandates federal agencies to conduct a detailed cost-benefit analysis before relocating employment positions outside the current commuting area. The goal is to ensure public funds are used efficiently and that major relocation decisions are economically and mission-justified. Citizens will gain access to reports assessing the impact of these changes on agency effectiveness and local communities, allowing for better oversight of government decisions.
Key points
Federal agencies must perform a cost-benefit analysis before relocating a significant number of positions (more than 5% or 100 employees).
Analysis reports must include detailed employee engagement plans, stakeholder impact assessments, and diversity management strategies.
The agency's Inspector General must review the report and submit findings to Congress, ensuring legislative oversight of public spending.
The results of the cost-benefit analysis will be made publicly available, increasing transparency and allowing citizens to evaluate the justification for relocations.
