Bill > HR7478

This bill, titled the COST of Relocations Act or the Congressional Oversight to Secure Transparency of Relocations Act, requires federal agencies to conduct a benefit-cost analysis before carrying out certain relocations involving the movement of more than 5% or 100 of the agency's employees outside their commuting area or to a different federal agency's jurisdiction. The analysis must assess the anticipated outcomes, impacts on stakeholders, implementation plans, and effects on the agency's mission. The agency's Inspector General must review the analysis and submit a report to Congress, which must include details on the data used, conclusions, and adherence to relevant guidance. The bill does not abrogate any existing legal requirements related to agency relocations.
