AI Summary

This bill grants expedited hiring authority to the head of a federal agency to appoint college graduates and post-secondary students to competitive service positions at the GS-11 level or below, without regard to certain hiring requirements. The bill specifies qualifications for these appointments, such as applying within 2 years of degree completion or discharge from military service, and limits the number of such appointments to 15% of the agency's previous year's competitive service hires at that level.
