This bill requires reports to Congress on the impact of crime and safety concerns on public building usage and associated costs.

Specifically, the Government Accountability Office must conduct a review and report on, among other things

  • the effects of increased crime rates and safety concerns, including the use of fentanyl and other drugs and homelessness, in urban areas on building usage for in-person work at federal buildings;
  • the effects of low office utilization rates on safety around federal buildings; and
  • any costs associated with safety issues impacting federal buildings.

The Office of Inspector General of the General Services Administration must submit to Congress a report on the impacts on and costs associated with building operations related to crime and public safety in and around federal buildings.
