To prohibit certain removals of employees of the Department of Health and Human Services and sub-agencies and operating divisions thereof, and for other purposes.
This bill (HR 2532) blocks federal funding for large-scale layoffs at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its sub-agencies. It prohibits using federal funds to remove 3% or more of all HHS employees, or 3% or more at any single sub-agency, within a 60-day period. This applies to actions like layoffs under federal workforce rules (Title 5) or agency reorganizations. The bill directly affects HHS employees and its operating divisions by preventing rapid, widespread workforce reductions. It does not change HHS policies but restricts how personnel actions can be funded.
