What this amendment would do
This amendment would add limitations on how money can be used by agencies under the act.
**No money provided by the act can be spent until the head of each agency certifies three specific things to Congress. The agency must certify that it has stopped any mass layoff, which is defined as firing more than 1 percent of its employees. The agency must also certify that it is not carrying out a reduction in force plan, which refers to a systematic reduction in the number of employees. Additionally, the agency must certify it is not violating the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 or certain sections of the Antideficiency Act.
The Comptroller General of the United States would submit a report to Congress regarding each agency receiving funds. This report would address the legal authority and the impact on the agency's mission caused by any reduction in force, mass termination, coerced resignation, or firing or administrative leave of employees due to alleged insubordination occurring on or after January 20, 2025.**
