Bill > HR1807

This bill, titled the "Protecting Federal Agencies and Employees from Political Interference Act of 2025," seeks to prevent federal agencies and their employees from being relocated out of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area (referred to as the National Capital region) without specific legislative approval. The bill mandates that any federal government entity currently headquartered in the National Capital region must remain in that area, and any employee currently stationed in the region must also stay in place, unless Congress passes specific legislation authorizing their relocation. This provision effectively creates a legal barrier to moving federal agencies and their workforce away from Washington, D.C., which could be interpreted as a measure to protect federal employees from potential political disruptions or attempts to weaken government operations by dispersing them geographically. The bill requires any proposed relocation to go through a formal legislative process, ensuring transparency and congressional oversight of such significant organizational changes.
