AI Summary
This bill lets the federal prison system hire staff faster. The Director of the Bureau of Prisons can offer jobs directly at prison facilities without going through many of the usual federal hiring steps, as long as candidates are qualified. This faster hiring power ends once 96% of the jobs that existed on the day the bill becomes law are filled.
Key points:
- Who is affected: People applying for jobs at federal prisons, and the staff and inmates who feel the impact of staffing levels.
- What changes: The Bureau of Prisons can skip many normal hiring steps to bring people on more quickly, while still following some basic rules.
- When it ends: This faster hiring ends once staffing reaches 96% of the positions counted at the time the law takes effect.
