Commission to Relocate the Federal Bureaucracy Act

# Commission to Relocate the Federal Bureaucracy Act – Summary **What the Bill Would Do** If passed, this bill would create a special commission tasked with studying whether federal government agencies (excluding those dealing with national security) currently based in the Washington, DC area should be moved to other parts of the United States. The commission would have one year to complete its work and submit a report to Congress with recommendations about which agencies should relocate and where. **Who It Affects** This would potentially affect federal employees working in non-security agencies in the DC area, as well as communities across the country that might host relocated agencies. It could also impact the DC economy and real estate market if agencies do eventually move. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.

It was sponsored by Rep. Claudia Tenney, a Republican from New York.
