Federal Bureaucracy Reduction: Eliminating Nonessential Government Jobs

This bill seeks to permanently reduce the size of the federal workforce by abolishing positions deemed nonessential to government operations. Citizens may experience changes in the speed or scope of public services, as these roles will not be refilled once current employees leave. The goal is to cut public spending and reduce bureaucracy within executive branch agencies.
Key points
Permanent elimination of all federal executive branch positions that are subject to furlough during government shutdowns (deemed nonessential).
Vacant nonessential positions are abolished immediately; occupied positions are abolished only after the current employee leaves (retirement, resignation, etc.).
The law prevents agencies from reclassifying or establishing new positions to avoid these cuts.
