Personal Impact

Small businesses in states with abortion restrictions could be indirectly harmed if federal agencies are prevented from building new facilities, leasing new space, or relocating operations to those states. This could reduce federal contracting and economic activity in communities that depend on nearby federal offices. However, the bill allows maintenance of existing facilities and public-facing service locations.

“none of the funds made available to an Executive agency may be used to-- (1) move the headquarters or a significant portion of an Executive agency to a location in a State or territory of the United States on the list published by the Comptroller General”
