SBA could move at least 30% of its headquarters workers out of the Washington area if the move saves federal money. Many affected workers would lose full-time telework, and SBA would have to cut headquarters office space by at least 30%.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Returning SBA to Main Street Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 21.
Latest action on S. 298: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 21.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects SBA headquarters workers in the Washington, D.C., area, especially people who telework full time or could be moved to another region. It also affects employees with disability-based telework accommodations, who are protected from reassignment under the bill. SBA managers would have to plan moves, reduce office space, and report more data to Congress. Small businesses outside Washington could see more SBA staff placed closer to them, but the bill does not guarantee a service improvement.
Why this matters: This bill could change where many SBA workers live, work, commute, and get paid. It could move more SBA staff closer to small businesses outside Washington. It could also make SBA less flexible for workers who rely on full-time telework. The actual savings and service effects would depend on how SBA designs the relocation plan.
