Bill overview
The Saving NIST’s Workforce Act temporarily prevents the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from conducting layoffs until full-year appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are approved by Congress. This measure aims to protect the existing workforce at NIST during a period of uncertainty regarding federal funding. It does not restrict NIST’s ability to take other personnel actions, such as performance-based terminations. The bill provides a short-term buffer for NIST employees while awaiting finalized budget allocations.
