Agencies must share building data and follow real estate rules.

What it does

The bill tells agencies to give building data to two groups. Those groups are the Government Accountability Office and the Public Buildings Reform Board. It makes clear which agencies must follow rules about buying, selling, and renting buildings. The General Services Administration can hold onto some buildings if it saves money. This happens when selling or fixing up other buildings instead.

Who it affects

Taxpayers gain because agencies must be more open about building spending. Federal agencies must report their building data. The Public Buildings Reform Board gets two more years to work.

One thing to notice

The bill lets the General Services Administration keep some buildings if it saves money. The bill does not say how strict the checks will be.
