What it does
The Protect our Public Health Workforce Act would require the reinstatement of any CDC employee who was involuntarily removed or dismissed without cause between January 20, 2025, and the date of the bill’s enactment, with the option to receive backpay under federal law. It also mandates that the CDC Director submit regular reports to specified congressional committees detailing removals, including the number, job titles, and reasons for each dismissal, with reporting requirements set to expire on January 20, 2029. The bill affects former CDC employees during the specified period and aims to increase transparency and accountability in workforce decisions at the agency.
