Saving the Civil Service Act

Limits agencies’ ability to move federal positions out of the competitive service and creates strict rules for transfers between hiring systems. It locks certain procedures to the Title 5 rules in effect on September 30, 2020, requires written employee consent for many reassignments, caps how many employees an agency may shift during a President’s term, and directs the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to issue implementing regulations and to report annually on such moves.
