What it does
HR.2532 would prohibit the use of federal funds to remove employees of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or its sub-agencies and operating divisions if the removal affects 3 percent or more of the total workforce at the department or any individual sub-agency within a 60-day period. This restriction applies to any agency action, including reductions in force or reorganizations under federal civil service rules. The bill aims to prevent large-scale layoffs within HHS by blocking federal spending for such actions. It was introduced in the House and referred to multiple committees for consideration.
