Public Shipyard Workforce Protection Act of 2025

This bill prohibits using fiscal year 2026 Department of Defense funds to implement hiring freezes, layoffs, or unnecessary delays in filling vacant positions at public shipyards. It directly affects public shipyards and their Federal civilian employees by preventing workforce reductions without justification. The key provision blocks specific personnel actions - hiring freezes, layoffs, and unfounded hiring delays - using Defense Department funding. This is a procedural measure focused on preserving existing workforce stability at these facilities.
