Bill 119 HR 202, 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 government operations 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.
In addition to studying the relocation of agencies, the bill also includes provisions for the commission to make recommendations to Congress on how to facilitate and incentivize agency relocations, as well as to provide guidance on the process for selecting new locations for agencies.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 202 aims to explore the potential benefits of moving certain government agencies outside of the Washington, D.C. area and to provide Congress with valuable information and recommendations on how to best facilitate such relocations.
