This bill amends federal employment law to clarify the appeal rights of federal employees in sensitive positions who are deemed ineligible for their jobs. Specifically, it guarantees that federal employees or job applicants can appeal decisions about their ineligibility for sensitive positions to the Merit Systems Protection Board, but only if the position does not require a security clearance or access to classified information. The bill defines sensitive positions as those designated under Executive Order 10450 or any successor executive order. The changes apply immediately to all pending appeals and any appeals filed after the bill becomes law, with no exceptions. The legislation was introduced by Representatives Norton and Carson in March 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
