## Summary

**Reinstating pre‑pandemic telework baselines** is the bill's central goal. It would require agencies to restore telework levels and policies that existed on December 31, 2019 and bar any expansion until agencies submit studies, plans, and receive certification from the Director of the Office of Personnel Management. - Federal agencies would have 30 days to reinstate their 2019 telework policies and could not expand telework practices until Congress receives an agency plan and the Director issues a certification. - Federal employees could see remote work options rolled back to 2019 levels and face limits on broader telework unless their agency gains an approved, Director‑certified expansion plan. - Agency leaders must, within 180 days, deliver to Congress a study of COVID‑era telework impacts, a plan to expand telework beyond 2019 baselines, and a Director‑certified assessment that the plan improves mission performance, reduces property and locality pay costs, and secures networks and access to data.
