Protecting Federal Jobs: Limits on Moving Civil Service Positions to Excepted Status.
This bill aims to safeguard job stability and the merit system within the federal government workforce. It imposes strict limits on moving positions from the protected competitive service to the excepted service, where employees have fewer protections against political dismissal. This ensures that government agencies remain staffed by qualified professionals rather than political appointees, promoting stable public services for citizens.
Key points
Restricts federal agencies from moving positions out of the competitive service into categories with fewer job protections, safeguarding the merit system.
Requires the written consent of a federal employee before their position can be transferred to the less protected excepted service.
Limits the total number of employees an agency can transfer to the excepted service during a presidential term (capped at 1% of the workforce or 5 employees).
