Mandating 80% In-Person Work for Federal Employees and Selling Underused Buildings.

This bill aims to maximize the efficiency of federal real estate by requiring agencies to enforce in-person work policies. It mandates that at least 80% of federal employees must work in the office weekly, and agencies must occupy a minimum of 60% of their usable office space. Failure to meet these occupancy requirements will result in the sale of owned federal properties or the termination/non-renewal of leases, potentially saving taxpayer money.
Key points
Return to Office Mandate: Federal agencies must require at least 80% of their employees to work in-person Monday through Friday.
Real Estate Efficiency: Agencies must occupy at least 60% of their office space; non-compliant properties must be sold or their leases terminated.
Taxpayer Savings: The goal is to stop wasting billions of dollars on maintaining largely empty or underutilized federal buildings.
