Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Requires the General Services Administration to send Congress a yearly report (due by Jan. 31) on its federal building and leasing portfolio.
- The report must track leasing activity, including leases signed and ended, total leased locations, and how many square feet are used versus sitting vacant.
- It also must cover owned federal buildings, major construction and big repair projects, and which buildings were sold or otherwise disposed of.
- Requires financial details like operating costs per square foot, savings from getting rid of buildings or leases, and the size of deferred maintenance needs.
- Must explain plans to move federal offices when buildings are being disposed of or leases aren’t renewed, including who pays and whether the tenant agency asked to move.
