Protecting NOAA Jobs: Moratorium on Layoffs Until Full Budget Enacted.
This bill institutes a temporary ban on workforce reductions (layoffs) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Employees of this critical agency, responsible for weather forecasting and ocean research, are protected from job loss until Congress enacts the full appropriations for fiscal year 2026. This measure aims to ensure the continuity and stability of essential public services like weather warnings and environmental management.
Key points
NOAA is prohibited from conducting any reduction in force (layoffs) until the full FY 2026 budget is signed into law.
The goal is to maintain stable staffing levels for critical environmental and weather services provided to the public.
