Congressional Approval Required for Major Federal Agency Reorganizations.
This law mandates that any significant restructuring of federal agencies, including major budget cuts (over 10%), staff reductions (over 5%), or office closures, must receive explicit approval from Congress. This process ensures greater transparency and stability in public service delivery, preventing sudden, unilateral changes that could disrupt services relied upon by citizens. Labor organizations and employees also gain the right to challenge illegal reorganizations in court.
Key points
Major changes to federal agencies (like closing offices or significant staff/budget cuts) now require a joint resolution of approval from Congress, increasing service stability.
The President must submit an impact report detailing how the reorganization affects services, budgets, and employees before any change can proceed, enhancing transparency.
Federal employees and labor organizations gain enhanced procedural protections and the right to seek injunctive relief in court against illegal reorganizations.
