This legislation establishes a commission to study the relocation of certain federal agencies from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to other locations across the United States. Specifically, the commission will focus on agencies not designated as security-related by the President, aiming to decentralize federal operations. Composed of various high-ranking government officials, including agency heads and Cabinet Secretaries, this body is tasked with identifying suitable new homes for these federal entities. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the commission must submit a comprehensive report to Congress detailing its recommendations for agency transfers. This report will consider several crucial factors, such as the financial efficiency of potential new locations, including areas with a cost of living below the national average, and the availability of adequate pre-existing infrastructure and private land. Furthermore, the commission will evaluate whether a prospective area has existing industries that can serve as public and private sector partners, and assess the extent to which a significant portion of a covered agency's workforce has participated in telework during the five years preceding the bill's enactment.
