Relocating 30% of SBA Staff Outside DC: Better Service for Small Businesses.

This law mandates the Small Business Administration (SBA) to move at least 30% of its headquarters staff out of the Washington DC area to regional offices nationwide, including rural locations. The goal is to enhance the accessibility of SBA services and improve in-person customer support for small business owners outside the capital. Relocated employees will have their pay adjusted based on the new local rates and will lose full-time telework authorization.
Key points
Increased accessibility for small businesses: 30% of SBA headquarters staff must move to regional offices to improve local support and outreach to entrepreneurs across the country.
Pay and telework changes for staff: Relocated employees will receive pay based on the local rate of their new duty station and will not be authorized for full-time telework.
Headquarters downsizing: The SBA must reduce its headquarters office space by at least 30% within two years.
