What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Protecting Federal Agencies and Employees from Political Interference Act of 2025," aims to keep federal headquarters in place. It requires that any federal entity headquarters currently in the National Capital region must stay there. This rule applies to all headquarters located in that region on the date the bill is introduced. Additionally, it covers any employee duty stations currently located in the National Capital region. These entities and positions can only be moved if new legislation is specifically enacted into law to approve or provide for such a relocation.
