Return to Work Act

# Return to Work Act Summary **What the Bill Does** The Return to Work Act would require federal agencies to go back to using the same telework (remote work) policies they had in place on December 31, 2019. This means rolling back any changes made to remote work arrangements since that date, essentially returning federal workplace policies to pre-pandemic standards. **Who It Affects** This bill directly impacts federal government employees and the agencies that employ them. It could also indirectly affect federal contractors and the public, depending on how agencies operate and deliver services.

The bill relates to employee benefits, workplace flexibility, and government operations. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Republican Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona. As of now, it remains in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. This means it has not yet been voted on by the full House or Senate.
