Bill overview
The Strategic Withdrawal of Agencies for Meaningful Placement Act (SWAMP Act) aims to move executive agency headquarters out of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It prohibits new construction or major renovations to existing headquarters in that region after enactment and establishes a competitive bidding process for relocating these agencies to other states. The General Services Administration (GSA) will oversee this process, considering economic impact, relevant expertise, and national security when selecting a new location for each agency.
