Requires the U.S. Office of Special Counsel to share more information with Congress and the public about how it handles certain misconduct complaints, especially Hatch Act cases involving political (noncareer) appointees. It adds plain definitions, creates new semiannual and annual reporting to oversight committees, and requires public explanations when the agency declines to file a case against most noncareer employees.
The agency must also publish 10 years of anonymized demographic statistics on complaints and outcomes for career and noncareer employees. Relevant federal offices must provide existing demographic data on request. A severability clause keeps the rest of the law in place if any part is struck down.
Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
