HR 492 · 119th Congress — Saving the Civil Service Act

Summary

Saving the Civil Service Act This bill generally prohibits changes to the classification of positions in the competitive service and excepted service unless certain conditions are met. (Competitive service positions are subject to competitive examination while excepted service positions are appointed under one of five schedules. Competitive service positions have notice and appeal requirements for adverse actions that are not applicable to most excepted positions, including those of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character under Schedule C. ) On October 21, 2020, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that placed executive agency positions that are of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character, and that are not normally subject to change as a result of a presidential transition, under a new Schedule F in the excepted service. Right now, the latest action is: ASSUMING FIRST SPONSORSHIP - Mr. Walkinshaw asked unanimous consent that he may hereafter be considered as the first sponsor of H. R. 492, a bill originally introduced by Representative Connolly, for the purpose of adding cosponsors and requesting reprintings under clause 7 of rule XII. Agreed to without objection. The listed sponsor is Rep. Connolly, Gerald E. [D-VA-11] [D].
