TIMEOUT Act

This bill would require the General Services Administration, within 30 days of enactment, to identify nonessential administrative federal office space located in sanctuary jurisdictions and notify the agencies that use it. A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as a state or local government that limits sharing immigration status information or limits compliance with federal immigration detainer or release-notification requests. Affected agencies would have to submit relocation plans within 60 days of notice and move the office space out of those jurisdictions within 90 days of enactment. Agencies would also be barred from leasing, renewing, or using federal funds for such office space in sanctuary jurisdictions, and the GSA would report to Congress on relocations and costs within one year. The Department of Homeland Security is excluded from these requirements.
