Cotton, Warner, Colleagues Introduce Intelligence Community Workforce Agility Protection Act
Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Senator Mark R. Warner (D-Virginia), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, today introduced the Intelligence Community Workforce Agility Protection Act, legislation that would provide equitable tax treatment for civilians workers in the intelligence community who are subject to permanent change of station orders, similar to those in the military.
Senators Michael Bennet (D-Colorado), Ted Budd (R-North Carolina), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York), Mark Kelly (D-Arizona), James Lankford (R-Oklahoma), Jerry Moran (R-Kansas), Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota), and Todd Young (R-Indiana) are cosponsoring the legislation.
“Just as in the military, permanent change of station orders can be a time of upheaval for the men, women, and families of the intelligence community. This bill will reinstate some of the eased burdens on moving costs and help keep our intelligence community workers focused on the mission at hand of keeping our country safe,”said Senator Cotton.
“Like the men and women of our armed forces, our intelligence community professionals go to extraordinary lengths to serve and protect their country,”Senator Warner said.“They often uproot their lives to go serve where they are needed – no matter where that may be. This commonsense legislation will ensure that these brave Americans are not forced to pay out of pocket for the costs of their relocations.”
