COST of Relocations Act

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

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 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Congressional Oversight to Secure Transparency of Relocations Act or the COST of Relocations Act

This bill requires a federal agency seeking to relocate more than 5% of its employees or more than 100 employees to conduct and make public a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of the proposed change.

Specifically, the agency must conduct such analysis and submit it to the agency's office of inspector general for review and submission to Congress.

The report must include

  • the anticipated outcomes and improvements that will result from the proposed relocation,
  • the metrics for measuring whether the proposed relocation results in the anticipated outcomes and improvements,
  • a timeline of past and future engagements with stakeholders regarding the proposed relocation,
  • a comprehensive strategy for accomplishing the proposed relocation, and
  • an assessment of the short- and long-term effects of the proposed relocation on the agency's mission.
