Ban on Federal Employment and Contracts for Individuals Convicted of Violent Crimes.
This bill establishes a strict prohibition on employing individuals finally convicted of a crime of violence in the U.S. civil service. Furthermore, the Federal Government is barred from contracting with entities where such convicted individuals hold key positions, including officers, directors, or controlling ownership interests. This measure aims to enhance public trust and security within the federal workforce and contracting system.
Key points
Individuals finally convicted of a crime of violence are ineligible for Federal civil service positions and must be removed if currently employed.
The Federal Government cannot enter into contracts with entities where violent offenders hold covered positions (officer, director, controlling owner, or contract worker).
The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) can waive the contracting prohibition if it causes an undue burden on the Federal Government.
