Providing hiring preferences for state employment to certain federal employees.

Washington State Bill SB 5767 gives a 5% scoring boost to certain federal employees in state job hiring exams. It applies specifically to federal workers who left their jobs due to Executive Order 14210 (ending remote work) or voluntary separation under a 2025 presidential memo. This preference increases their exam score by 5% for initial state employment appointments only - not for promotions. The bill defines "federal employee" as those separated under those specific 2025 directives and requires standard military discharge documentation for verification.
