Bill > HR3026

This bill aims to protect employees at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) by reinstating individuals who were involuntarily removed between January 25 and March 1, 2025, with the option to return to their previous positions and receive back pay. The bill prohibits the involuntary removal or transfer of CISA employees without specific Congressional approval, with exceptions for political positions, employees removed for misconduct, poor performance, or those in unacceptable standing. The bill defines political positions as those on the Executive Schedule, certain Senior Executive Service roles that are not career appointees, and confidential or policy-determining positions under specific federal regulations. Additionally, the legislation prevents federal funds from being used to pay salaries or expenses for employees of the Department of the United States DOGE Service (Department of Government Efficiency) who are working at or detailed to CISA. By implementing these provisions, the bill seeks to provide job protection and stability for CISA employees while restricting the potential influence of a specific government department within the agency.
