This bill requires a federal agency seeking to relocate more than 5% of its employees or more than 100 employees to conduct and make public a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of the proposed change.

The report must include

  • the metrics for measuring whether the proposed relocation results in the anticipated outcomes and improvements,
  • a timeline of past and future engagements with stakeholders regarding the proposed relocation,
  • a comprehensive strategy for accomplishing the proposed relocation, and
  • an assessment of the short- and long-term effects of the proposed relocation on the agency's mission.
