Bill overview
This bill, the EPA Special Hiring Authority Transparency Act, aims to increase accountability regarding the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) use of special hiring authority. Currently, the EPA Administrator can hire personnel outside of standard civil service rules. This legislation requires the Administrator to notify Congress within 30 days of any such appointment, providing details about the appointee’s name, title, salary, and a justification for the hiring decision. The goal is to ensure transparency and oversight of these appointments.
