H.R. 4797 · 108th Congress
Continuity of Operations Demonstration Project Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 108th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Continuity of Operations Demonstration Project Act - Directs the Chief Human Capital Officers Council, in order to test the preparedness of the Government to continue to operate in the event of an extended emergency situation, to establish a demonstration project under which, through agreements with two or more agencies, a representative range of Government services and operations (both essential and nonessential) shall be performed under circumstances simulating a situation in which Federal employees are, as a result of a sudden and unexpected contingency, required to work: (1) from home or other sites apart from their usual and customary duty station; and (2) for a continuous period of not less than 30 days.
Directs the Council, in carrying out the demonstration project, to ensure that specified requirements are met with respect to: (1) communications; (2) access to technologies, information, or other resources; (3) participation (limited to those employees who would otherwise have been eligible to telework); and (4) coordination with otherwise existing Federal telework policies, requirements, and funding.
