Saving NSF’s Workforce Act
S 2630, the "Saving NSF’s Workforce Act," temporarily prohibits the National Science Foundation (NSF) from implementing staff reductions (reductions in force) until full-year funding for fiscal year 2026 is enacted. This applies to all personnel actions under specific sections of federal law governing workforce changes. The bill directly affects NSF employees by preventing layoffs during the funding gap period. It does not change NSF's budget or operations, only delaying personnel actions until Congress passes the 2026 appropriations.
