This bill limits how long federal agencies can employ special government employees (people hired for temporary, part-time advisory or expertise roles) to 130 days within any 365-day period. Once someone reaches this limit, the agency must reclassify them as a regular federal employee with standard civil service protections and benefits, or terminate them. The legislation also requires the Office of Personnel Management to create a public database within 210 days listing information about higher-level special government employees—including their names, positions, pay rates, agencies, and employment dates—that will be searchable online and accessible through an application programming interface. Additionally, the bill mandates that financial disclosure forms filed by these senior-level special government employees be released publicly. These requirements aim to increase transparency and accountability by preventing indefinite reliance on temporary workers and giving the public visibility into who is performing government work and earning government pay.
