H.R. 3853 would close the Federal Executive Institute within 90 days of enactment. It would set one-year probation periods for certain federal employees and require agencies to certify that employees should continue in their jobs before those periods end. Agencies would report regulations with criminal penalties that lack clear statutory authority, and they could not issue regulations with criminal penalties unless the penalty is described in a statute. The bill would also require modernization of Federal Register processes and Treasury payment systems, along with reports on implementation. The bill was introduced in the House and referred to committees.
If enacted, the bill could affect some federal employees' job probation periods. It would also direct Treasury to develop secure digital payment systems for people, businesses, and agencies. The bill does not specify changes to any particular payment or service used by the public.
