Bill Summary
A BILL To reinstate veteran Federal employees, to require reports from executive branch agencies of the Federal Government on the number of veteran employees fired from such agencies, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Protect Veteran Jobs Act," provides reinstatement rights for veterans who were involuntarily removed from federal civil service positions between January 20, 2025, and the bill's enactment date, allowing them to be reinstated to their previous or similar positions for which they are qualified. The bill requires executive branch agencies to submit quarterly reports to specific congressional committees detailing the number of veteran employees removed from their positions and the reasons for those removals. These reports must be submitted within 60 days of the bill's enactment and every three months thereafter, with the reporting requirement set to expire on January 20, 2029. The bill defines key terms such as "civil service" (as defined in title 5 of the U.S. Code) and "veteran" (as defined in title 38 of the U.S. Code), and specifies that the reports should be submitted to the House Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and Veterans' Affairs, and the Senate Committees on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Veterans' Affairs.
