## Summary

**This bill would require moving at least 30% of SBA headquarters jobs out of the Washington, DC area** to new permanent duty stations, reset pay to the new locality, and limit full-time telework. It would also shrink headquarters office space and force detailed reporting to Congress. - At least 30% of headquarters staff would be relocated outside the Washington area. Relocation would take effect 90 days after notification, pay would switch to the new pay locality, and employees approved for full-time telework under the Americans with Disabilities Act would be exempt but still counted toward the target. - The SBA would reduce headquarters office space by at least 30% and must choose new duty stations with geographic diversity, including rural markets, to strengthen regional, in-person customer service. - The Administrator would have 180 days to deliver a detailed report and implementation plan to Congress that lists headquarters headcounts, field staffing, full-time teleworkers, and ADA telework accommodations. The bill also bans relocation incentives for employees whose worksite changes.

- Override union deals and block lawsuits: cost, medium. The bill would override any conflicting law or collective bargaining agreement when carrying out these relocation and telework changes.
