 To require that the same transit pass transportation fringe benefits 
that are currently being offered to certain executive branch employees 
in the National Capital Region be extended to other similarly situated 
                           Federal employees.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. EXTENSION OF BENEFITS.

    (a) In General.--Effective as of the first day of the next fiscal 
year beginning after the date of enactment of this Act, each covered 
agency shall implement a program under which all qualified Federal 
employees serving in or under such agency shall be offered transit pass 
transportation fringe benefits, as described in subsection (b).
    (b) Benefits Described.--The benefits described in this subsection 
are, as of any given date, the transit pass transportation fringe 
benefits which, under section 2 of Executive Order 13150, are then 
currently required to be offered by Federal agencies in the National 
Capital Region.
    (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this Act--
            (1) the term ``covered agency'' means any agency, to the 
        extent of its facilities in the National Capital Region;
            (2) the term ``agency'' means any agency (as defined by 
        7905(a)(2) of title 5, United States Code) not otherwise 
        covered by section 2 of Executive Order 13150, the United 
        States Postal Service, and the Postal Rate Commission;
            (3) the term ``National Capital Region'' includes the 
        District of Columbia and every county or other geographic area 
        covered by section 2 of Executive Order 13150;
            (4) the term ``Executive Order 13150'' refers to Executive 
        Order 13150 (65 Fed. Reg. 24613, relating to Federal workforce 
        transportation);
            (5) the term ``Federal agency'' is used in the same way 
        that such term is used in section 2 of Executive Order 13150; 
        and
            (6) any determination as to whether or not one is a 
        ``qualified Federal employee'' shall be made applying the same 
        criteria as would apply under section 2 of Executive Order 
        13150.
    (d) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
considered to require that a covered agency--
            (1) terminate any program or benefits in existence on the 
        date of enactment of this Act, or postpone any plans to 
        implement (before the effective date referred to in subsection 
        (a)) any program or benefits permitted or required under any 
        other provision of law; or
            (2) discontinue (on or after the effective date referred to 
        in subsection (a)) any program or benefits referred to in 
        paragraph (1), so long as such program or benefits satisfy the 
        requirements of subsections (a)-(c).
