Summary

This bill prohibits the Department of the Interior from reducing its workforce or involuntarily separating most employees until full-year funding for fiscal year 2026 is enacted. Sec. 2, Reduction in force moratorium: Until full-year appropriations for the Department of the Interior for fiscal year 2026 become law, the Secretary may not start or carry out any reduction in force at any agency or bureau of the Department, nor involuntarily separate any competitive service employee, career excepted service employee, or career Senior Executive Service appointee, except for cause based on misconduct, delinquency, or poor performance. The bill defines key terms by referencing existing federal law and states that this moratorium adds to, rather than replaces, other rules on adverse personnel actions.
