Summary
S. 3654 would amend the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 to expand the membership, responsibilities, and meeting requirements of existing councils of federal employees that oversee and coordinate transitions. The bill also would create a council for federal employees managing those transitions at small and independent agencies not represented on current councils. Finally, S. 3654 would require various reports, including one from the Government Accountability Office.
Because those provisions would affect agencies that already participate in transitions, codify existing policies, make relatively small changes to the meeting requirements of councils, and require relatively straightforward reports, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2024-2029 period. Any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
