Bill overview
This bill, the Saving the Civil Service Act, aims to reverse a 2020 executive order that moved certain federal jobs into the ‘excepted service.’ It specifically nullifies the executive order and prevents future conversions of competitive service positions to the excepted service. The bill also requires any positions previously moved to the excepted service to be returned to the competitive service, and reinstates those who were involuntarily removed from the civil service due to the executive order.
