To prohibit use of appropriated amounts by any Federal agency for services that are not directly related to the official functions of the agency, and for other purposes.

Summary

Prohibits appropriated amounts from being used by Federal agencies (including the judicial branch) to provide meals, medicine, medical services, haircuts, athletic facilities, entertainment, financial services, or any other service at a cost that is lower than the cost to the public for equivalent services. Requires Federal agencies to certify to the Congress that no appropriated amounts will be used in violation of such prohibition. Prohibits motor vehicles used by a Federal agency from being used to provide transportation for an agency employee (and prohibits an agency employee from performing such service) unless the President, in the case of an executive branch employee, or the Chief Justice, in the case of a judicial branch employee, issues a finding that: (1) the transportation is necessary for purposes of national security or employee safety; or (2) the use of the vehicle is the most practical and cost-efficient means of transportation available to carry out official functions. Requires Federal agencies to report annually to the Congress on all employee travel outside of the United States.
