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.

Nice middle ground — let's make moves count before shuffling desks across the country.

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.

Relocations should be justified with more than just 'we feel like it.' Thanks, COST Act!
