Summary

Prohibits relocating any federal agency or department headquarters, or moving employee duty stations, if those headquarters or duty stations were located in the National Capital Region on the date the bill was introduced—unless Congress passes a separate law that explicitly authorizes the relocation. One short provision also establishes the act's short title; there are no new funding provisions or implementation timelines specified.

• Blocks relocation of any federal department or agency headquarters that were in the National Capital Region on the bill’s introduction date unless Congress approves a separate law.
• Also bars moving the duty stations of individual federal employees who were located in the National Capital Region at that same date without congressional authorization.
• One section only provides a short title; the substantive rule is contained in a single operative provision.
• Does not provide funding, implementation deadlines, or an exception process.
• Shifts final authority over covered relocations from the executive branch to Congress by requiring affirmative congressional legislation to permit moves.
• Applies to all federal entities and positions meeting the location criteria, not just select agencies or job categories.
• Limits administrative flexibility for agency reorganizations that would move functions out of the National Capital Region.
• Does not itself create penalties or detailed enforcement procedures beyond the statutory prohibition.
