This bill prohibits federal officials, including the President, from requiring political loyalty tests for any federal employees or job applicants. The law applies broadly to all federal workers—from Cabinet-level positions appointed by the President to postal service employees—and bars loyalty tests at any stage of employment, including hiring, promotion, contract renewal, and appointment decisions. The bill defines "political loyalty test" implicitly as any requirement that measures an employee's political allegiance or support for particular political figures or parties. No funding or specific timeline is mentioned in the legislation. The measure aims to protect federal workers from being required to demonstrate loyalty to particular politicians as a condition of keeping their jobs or advancing their careers.
