Protecting Federal Employees from Layoffs During Government Shutdowns.
This bill aims to protect federal employees from losing their jobs if the U.S. government temporarily ceases operations due to a lack of funding. It means that citizens employed by federal agencies cannot be removed from their positions during such a shutdown, and if violated, they have the right to reinstatement with back pay. This provides greater job security for thousands of families across the U.S.
