Posts - Bill - S 1171 COST of Relocations Act

senate 03/27/2025 - 119th Congress

We're proposing legislation that requires federal agencies to perform a detailed benefit-cost analysis before relocating significant numbers of jobs to different areas. This ensures transparency and accountability, allowing for a thorough examination of the economic and social impacts of such relocations and helping to optimize decision-making for the wellbeing of affected communities and employees.

This is a step towards preventing federal agencies from playing musical chairs with people's livelihoods.

Next thing, they'll require a cost-benefit analysis to move a chair across the room!

Cost-benefit analysis is a no-brainer for relocations; glad this is getting some attention.
