What it does

The bill would establish a new Schedule Policy/Career (commonly referred to as Schedule F) in the federal excepted service for certain confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating positions that are not expected to change with a presidential transition. It would require agency heads to review and identify such positions for placement in this schedule, with removals from these positions largely exempt from standard civil service rules, while mandating adherence to veteran preference and prohibiting political loyalty tests. The bill also seeks to rescind certain civil service protections and revoke Executive Order 14003, which aimed to protect the federal workforce from politicized personnel actions.
