Bill > HR3093

This bill, known as the REHIRE Act (Restoring Employment and Hiring Incentives for Removed Employees Act), aims to provide hiring preferences for certain federal employees who were involuntarily removed from civil service between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2027. Specifically, eligible employees will be considered "preference eligible" for competitive service positions and receive 5 additional points on their job application ratings. However, the bill excludes individuals removed from political positions, those separated due to documented misconduct or poor performance, and those with unacceptable recent performance reviews. The hiring preference will be available for 5 years after the act's enactment. The bill defines key terms such as "civil service" (government employment), "competitive service" (merit-based federal jobs), "political position" (high-level executive roles), and "preference eligible" (a status that provides hiring advantages). These provisions are designed to help certain involuntarily separated federal employees find new employment within the government.
