HR 4854 United States House · 119th Congress

Saving the Department of the Interior's Workforce Act

This bill blocks the Department of the Interior from implementing layoffs or involuntary separations (except for misconduct or performance issues) at any agency or bureau until Congress passes full-year funding for fiscal year 2026. It directly affects all employees in the competitive service, excepted service, and Senior Executive Service within the Department of the Interior. The key provision creates a moratorium on workforce reductions, requiring full FY2026 appropriations before any layoff actions can proceed.
