WASHINGTON, DC – Oversight and Government Reform Committee Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) today offered an amendment in the form of a motion to recommit that was approved by the House of Representatives and paved the way for passage of H.R. 1722. The amendment was approved by a vote of 304-118 and the bill was approved by a vote of 290 to 131. “The House’s passage of this amendment corrects a number of flaws in the original text, including a cost of $30 million for taxpayers on a bill that was intended to save the federal government money,” said Rep. Issa. “I am pleased the House voted to pass a truly bipartisan bill ensuring that the privilege of teleworking by federal employees is not abused and reduces the deficit.”
