Bill 118 hr 10410, also known as the "Agency Relocation Commission Act," proposes the establishment of a commission to study the relocation of certain government agencies outside of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The purpose of this bill is to explore the possibility of moving some federal agencies to other parts of the country in order to decentralize the government and promote economic development in other regions.

The commission would be tasked with conducting a comprehensive analysis of the potential benefits and challenges of relocating agencies, including the impact on agency operations, employees, and the local communities where the agencies would be relocated. The commission would also consider factors such as cost savings, efficiency, and the potential for increased collaboration between agencies and local stakeholders.

The bill does not specify which agencies would be considered for relocation, but rather leaves that decision up to the commission's discretion. The commission would be composed of members appointed by the President, congressional leaders, and the heads of relevant federal agencies. Overall, the Agency Relocation Commission Act aims to explore the possibility of moving certain government agencies outside of the Washington, D.C. area in order to promote decentralization and economic development. The bill does not mandate any specific relocations, but rather seeks to gather information and make recommendations based on the commission's findings.
