Bill > HR1571

This bill, known as the Bureaucratic Labor Adjustment and Downsizing Effort Act, aims to eliminate nonessential civil service positions in the executive branch of the federal government. Specifically, the bill targets federal positions that were not considered essential during previous government funding lapses (also known as furloughs). The bill mandates that unoccupied nonessential positions will be immediately abolished upon the act's enactment, while occupied nonessential positions will be eliminated when they become vacant through means such as retirement, voluntary separation, or disciplinary action. Additionally, the bill restricts the government's ability to designate new positions as exempt from furlough or to expand the list of furlough-exempt positions beyond what existed during previous funding lapses. The term "civil service" refers to non-military, professional government employees, and the bill applies to positions within the executive branch of the federal government. By implementing these provisions, the bill seeks to reduce government workforce redundancy and streamline federal employment during periods of budget uncertainty.
