H.R. 3136 would require the reinstatement of CDC employees who were fired without cause beginning January 20, 2025. Affected employees could choose to return to their original or equivalent positions and would receive backpay for the time they were separated from the agency. The bill also mandates that the CDC Director report to Congress every three months about employee removals or dismissals, including the number of affected workers, their job titles, and reasons for termination, with these reporting requirements ending January 20, 2029. The legislation affects CDC workers dismissed during the specified period and aims to restore staffing levels at the public health agency while increasing transparency about personnel decisions made at CDC.
