What this bill would do

This bill, known as the Support Military Families Act, focuses on federal employees in the executive branch who are spouses of members of the armed forces. It aims to allow these specific employees to engage in telework or remote work. Additionally, it exempts them from any requirements to return to full-time in-person work. To ensure oversight, the Comptroller General must submit a report to specific House and Senate committees. This report will include data on the number of affected employees, their average commute distances, and the estimated economic impact of requiring in-person work.
