 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the Senate on November 9, 2009. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Authorizes the Administrator of General Services (GSA) to extend the authority for a relocation expenses test program for federal employees upon the request of the agency administering the program. Requires each such agency to annually submit a report on the results of the program to the Administrator.

Increases to 12 the number of test programs that may be conducted simultaneously. Limits approval for any test program to an initial four-year period, with four-year extensions authorized.

Repeals a provision disclaiming any intent to limit agency authority to conduct such test programs.
