 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Eliminate Agency Excess Space Act

This bill modifies requirements with respect to the disposal of surplus and excess property by federal agencies.

Among other things, the bill repeals provisions that require federal agencies to report excess property to the General Services Administration (GSA). Additionally, the GSA must issue regulations that allow federal agencies to dispose of surplus and excess property without first making the property available to other agencies or state or local governments.

The bill also requires the GSA to survey all unused or underutilized office spaces held by federal agencies, make recommendations to reduce agency real estate assets, and report on costs associated with property disposal.
