ROBERT MALLEY Act

HR 6911, the ROBERT MALLEY Act, requires executive agency heads to explain to Congress within 15 days why an employee was furloughed or suspended without pay, including relevant evidence from investigations. It applies to most furloughs/suspensions but excludes those due to budget lapses or specific legal actions. The bill mandates unclassified written explanations (with optional classified annexes) to congressional committees overseeing the agency. It directly affects agency employees facing such actions when Congress requests an explanation, aiming to increase transparency in workforce decisions.
