Washington, D.C. — Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, today voted to pass H.R. 6276, the Utilizing Space Efficiently and Improving Technologies (USE IT) Act of 2023. This legislation directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and General Services Administration (GSA) to measure occupancy in federal buildings and federally leased space and requires steps to be taken to reduce or consolidate space if occupancy rate falls below 60 percent.
"Taxpayers should not be expected to pay the bills for federal buildings and spaces that are being left vacant and unused," said Rep. Webster. "This legislation provides much-needed oversight and accountability and helps reduce waste in federal office space."
A product of the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee, Congressman Webster voted for the bill in committee on February 13, 2024.
"I applaud Congressman Scott Perry, chairman of the subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management for leading the development of this bill."
