The Reduction in Force Review Act would require federal agencies to submit detailed justifications whenever they conduct workforce reductions, making those actions subject to Congressional review. Under current law, agency layoffs proceed without this level of scrutiny; this bill would change that by requiring agencies to document their specific reasons for cuts, expected impacts on employees and operations, alternative solutions they considered and rejected, and consultations with affected workers and their representatives. The bill also requires agencies to explain how reductions will affect veterans specifically. The legislation applies to all significant federal workforce restructuring actions and gives Congress the ability to review and potentially overturn agency reduction-in-force decisions, though no specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the text. The bill was introduced in May 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee and Rules Committee for consideration.
