Saving the Civil Service Act

What this bill does

  • This bill prevents executive agencies from reclassifying competitive civil service jobs into excepted service positions without meeting strict conditions.
  • Federal employees in competitive service positions are affected, as they would retain job protections like notice and appeal rights for adverse actions.
  • The bill takes effect immediately and requires Office of Personnel Management consent and employee consent for most position transfers.
