Job Protection for Remote Military Base Contractors: Congress Must Be Notified.
This law requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to notify Congress in advance before canceling large contracts that would lead to significant job losses. The goal is to protect employment, especially for workers living near remote military installations who depend on these contracts, allowing time for mitigation efforts. The rule applies if 50 or more remote contractor jobs, or 100 total contractor jobs, are affected.
Key points
Increased job stability for contractor employees, particularly those residing near isolated military bases, through early warning of potential layoffs.
DoD must provide Congress with 30 days' notice before contract cancellation if it results in mass layoffs (50 remote or 100 total employees).
The 30-day notice can be waived for national security reasons, but Congress must still be informed within one week after the cancellation occurs.
