Requires federal agencies to work together to better share office spaces

This bill would require the General Services Administration (GSA) to work closely with federal agencies that share office spaces. The goal is to find out what concerns these agencies have and create better ways to share space. This would help make federal office arrangements more efficient.

What Would Change

Today, the General Services Administration (GSA) manages federal properties without a specific rule to actively collaborate with federal agencies on shared office spaces. If this bill becomes law, the GSA would be required to work directly with these agencies to address concerns, develop criteria for sharing spaces, and set measurable goals for success.

Key Provisions

Requires the General Services Administration (GSA) to work with federal agencies to understand their concerns about shared office spaces.
Requires the GSA to create guidelines to help more federal agencies share or "collocate" their office spaces.
Requires the GSA to set clear goals, with input from tenant agencies, to measure how well shared office spaces are working.
Requires the GSA to identify ways to use special-purpose spaces more effectively for sharing among agencies.
Requires the GSA to brief Congress within six months on how these new rules are being put into practice.
