This amendment would change the bill by establishing eligibility for reinstatement for certain veterans and requiring reports from executive agencies. The amendment would do the following: Provide eligibility for reinstatement to any individual who is a veteran and was involuntarily removed or otherwise dismissed without cause from a position in the civil service between January 20, 2025, and the date this Act is enacted. The individual would be eligible to return to that specific position or any other position in the civil service for which they are qualified.
