Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill creates a permanent legal foundation for Federal Executive Boards (FEBs), which are regional coordination bodies that bring together senior federal officials in metropolitan areas outside Washington, DC. It establishes a dedicated fund of at least $15 million annually to support their operations and requires agencies to contribute based on their employee counts.
Who Benefits and How
Federal employees outside the DC area benefit from improved coordination, training opportunities, and emergency preparedness planning. Educational institutions and workforce development organizations gain formal partnership channels with federal agencies. Veterans transitioning to civilian employment benefit from coordinated federal job placement assistance through FEBs.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Federal agencies must contribute financially to the FEB Fund based on their employee numbers, creating a new mandatory expenditure. The Office of Personnel Management takes on expanded administrative and oversight responsibilities for managing FEBs nationwide.
Key Provisions
- Establishes a minimum $15 million annual Federal Executive Board Fund, with contributions from participating agencies
- Requires biennial reports to Congress on FEB outcomes and budgets
- Mandates semi-annual program assessments by each FEB
- Creates formal partnerships with workforce development boards, colleges, and nonprofits
