    is it a modified version of HR1722? HR1722 did not pass the house. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1722

    You are correct and thanks for the link.

    May 6, 2010: On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, as amended Failed by the Yeas and Nays: (2/3 required): 268 - 147 (Roll no. 251).

    The bill is now DEAD. I guess it will be up to individual agencies to decide how far they want to implement a Telework program.
