What this bill would do

This bill is called the BOP Direct-Hire Authority Act. It gives the Director of the Bureau of Prisons the power to directly hire qualified candidates for positions at Bureau of Prisons facilities. This hiring power bypasses certain standard civil service rules. However, the special hiring authority has an expiration date. It will end once 96 percent of the total competitive service positions at all Bureau of Prisons facilities are filled, based on the number of positions that exist when the law is enacted.
