This bill directs the federal government to develop and implement a new hiring plan for federal agencies within 120 days of enactment, with the stated goal of prioritizing merit-based recruitment while removing what the bill characterizes as non-merit factors from the appointment process. The plan applies to major federal agencies including the Executive departments, EPA, OMB, SBA, SSA, NSF, OPM, and GSA, and requires agencies to recruit candidates committed to government efficiency and constitutional service while prohibiting hiring decisions based on race, sex, or religion. The bill establishes specific requirements including streamlining the appointment timeline to less than 80 days, improving candidate communication, modernizing recruitment technology, and giving agency heads greater control over Senior Executive Service position allocation. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management must track progress through performance metrics and regular reporting, though the bill does not authorize new funding and requires implementation only to the extent appropriations are available.
