Federal Employee Term Limits: Maximum 12 Years of Service in Executive Branch

This bill introduces a maximum 12-year service limit for most federal executive branch employees to increase staff rotation. The change aims to prevent long-term tenure in government agencies, potentially affecting how these agencies operate. Crucially, this limit does not apply to the military, federal law enforcement, or Department of Defense personnel.
Key points
Most employees of federal agencies (executive branch) will be limited to a maximum of 12 years of total service.
The 12-year limit does not apply to law enforcement officers, members of the Armed Forces, Department of Defense employees, or Presidential appointees.
Current employees who have already served 9 years or more must separate from service within 3 years after the law is enacted to facilitate staff rotation.
