The bill would direct the White House domestic policy adviser, working with federal officials, to create a hiring plan for executive departments and several named agencies. The plan would prioritize candidates committed to government efficiency, the Constitution, and the rule of law. It would bar appointments based on a person’s race, sex, or religion, and bar candidates unwilling to defend the Constitution or serve the executive branch. The plan would also promote skills assessments, aim to fill positions in fewer than 80 days, improve updates to applicants, use modern technology, and set agency-specific practices for hiring and Senior Executive Service positions. The Office of Personnel Management would track progress and consult agencies, labor organizations, and other stakeholders.
People applying for jobs at covered agencies could receive more regular updates and clearer information about application timelines and decisions. The bill does not create an enforceable right or benefit for applicants.
