Bill > HR3136

This bill, called the "Protect our Public Health Workforce Act", requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to reinstate federal employees who were involuntarily removed or dismissed without cause between January 20, 2025, and the date of the bill's enactment. Affected employees can choose to be reinstated to their previous or equivalent position and will receive backpay according to existing federal regulations. The bill also mandates that the CDC Director submit quarterly reports to specific congressional committees detailing the number of employees removed, their job titles, and reasons for dismissal. These reporting requirements will remain in effect until January 20, 2029. The relevant congressional committees include oversight and health-related committees from both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The bill aims to provide job protection and transparency for CDC employees who may have been unjustly terminated.
