Bill Summary
To amend title 5, United States Code, to extend the authority to conduct telework travel expenses test programs, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Title 5 of the United States Code to extend the authority of federal agencies to conduct telework travel expense test programs until December 31, 2020. Telework, also known as remote work, allows employees to work from home or another location rather than commuting to a central office. The Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 originally authorized these test programs, which explore the potential benefits and challenges of reimbursing federal employees for travel expenses incurred while teleworking. This bill extends the sunset date for these pilot programs, allowing agencies to continue evaluating the feasibility and costs of providing telework-related travel reimbursements.
