Bill overview
The Federal Freeze Act aims to reduce the size and spending of the federal government by limiting pay raises for federal employees and restricting hiring. It prohibits agencies from increasing employee salaries for one year and limits the number of new employees they can hire to the existing workforce level, with exceptions for law enforcement, public safety, and national security. Furthermore, the bill requires agencies to reduce their overall workforce by 2% and 5% over a period of two and three years, respectively, following the bill's enactment.
