Bill Summary
AN ACT To impose limits on excepting competitive service positions from the competitive service, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Preventing a Patronage System Act of 2021 (PPSA Act of 2021), imposes limits on excepting competitive service positions from the competitive service. Specifically, it states that no position in the competitive service can be excepted from the competitive service unless it is placed in one of the schedules A through E as described in the Code of Federal Regulations, and under the terms and conditions of that part of the regulations. Additionally, the bill prohibits any position in the excepted service from being placed in a schedule other than those described in the bill. This is intended to prevent the use of excepted service positions as a way to circumvent the competitive hiring process and create a patronage system.
