Summary
H.R. 8276 would amend federal law regarding the use of excess personal property. Personal property refers to physical items (not real estate or land) ranging from common products—such as office equipment, motor vehicles, and animals—to specialized equipment—such as scientific devices and heavy machinery. Specifically, the legislation would:
Require the Government Accountability Office to report on the frequency of federal agencies buying personal property that is produced in China,
Require the General Services Administration (GSA) to publicly report on excess personal property and on its interagency working group, and
Require agencies to report on their guidance about the use of excess personal property.
