What's in it

See official bill text

Costs less than $500,000 over 2026-2031 to implement reporting requirements.

The $500,000 federal cost is just the GSA's overhead to conduct analysis and produce reports—the policy itself directs an agency study with no direct spending on federal programs or private parties.
