ROOMIE Act

This bill, called the ROOMIE Act, requires federal agencies to update their rules so that at least 80% of their employees work in the office, and at least 60% of their office space is actually being used. If an agency doesn't have enough workers to fill 60% of its space, it must create a plan — submitted within one year — explaining how it will meet that goal, including by possibly sharing space with other agencies. Agencies that don't follow these rules would have to sell their buildings or end their leases, and a government watchdog would report to Congress on whether agencies are following through.
