Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the use of funds authorized to be appropriated for the Department of Defense to carry out a hiring freeze, reduction in force, or hiring delay without cause at a public shipyard.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Public Shipyard Workforce Protection Act of 2025, prohibits the Department of Defense from using any funds authorized for fiscal year 2026 to implement a hiring freeze, conduct a reduction in force (which means laying off employees), or delay the hiring of a federal civilian employee at a public shipyard without a valid reason. Public shipyards are facilities owned and operated by the government for building and repairing ships, and this legislation aims to ensure a stable workforce at these critical locations by preventing arbitrary personnel actions.
