Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Public Shipyard Workforce Protection Act of 2025 prohibits the Department of Defense from using its fiscal year 2026 budget to freeze hiring, lay off workers, or unnecessarily delay filling open jobs at public shipyards. The bill protects the federal civilian workforce at these facilities by preventing workforce cutbacks or hiring slowdowns without valid justification. The measure was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Armed Services Committee and Oversight and Government Reform Committee for consideration. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is detailed in the legislation beyond the fiscal year 2026 budget restriction.
