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. The bill also requires public advertising and reporting to Congress and the Office of Personnel Management on the use of this authority.
