Mandatory Relocation of 30% of Federal Staff Outside D.C. and Office Reduction
This Act mandates that federal agencies relocate at least 30% of their headquarters staff from the Washington D.C. area to regional offices nationwide. The goal is to decentralize services and save costs, but it means thousands of employees face mandatory relocation, and their pay will be recalculated based on the new, often lower, locality rate. Additionally, the government must reduce its D.C. office space by 30%, aiming for taxpayer savings.
Key points
Federal agencies must relocate 30% of headquarters staff outside D.C. within one year, promoting geographic diversity and in-person customer service.
Relocated employees' pay will be based on the potentially lower local rates of the new duty station, and full-time telework authorization will be revoked.
The Director of OMB must mandate a reduction of at least 30% of the office space used by agency headquarters in Washington D.C.
