SHOW UP Act of 2025

The SHOW UP Act of 2025 would require executive branch agencies to adopt telework policies that were in effect on December 31, 2019, effectively rolling back any expanded remote work arrangements implemented since then. If agencies want to maintain or expand telework options beyond those 2019 levels, they would need to obtain certification from the Office of Personnel Management demonstrating that such policies would positively impact the agency's mission and operational costs.

If enacted, this bill could significantly affect federal employees by potentially requiring more in-office work, depending on how much telework has expanded at their agencies since 2019. The practical impact would vary by agency and employee role. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
