The bill also requires the consent of an employee to be reclassified, mandates reporting of conversions to the Office of Personnel Management, and places caps on the number of employees converted to the excepted service via Schedule C. Support H.R.159/S.59: Chance to Compete Act of 2023, which would implement merit-based reforms to the civil service hiring system that replace degree-based hiring with skills- and competency based hiring.

Oppose H.R. 3115/S.1496, the Public Service Reform Act, which would make all federal employees at-will and enable workers to be removed for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all. The legislation would also abolish the Merit Systems Protection Board and limit removal appeals claims of whistleblower retaliation and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints before the US Court of Appeals. Support H.R. 1301/S.640, the Federal Employees Civil Relief Act, which would protect federal workers and contractors from a variety of civil financial penalties during a lapse in appropriations or a breach of the debt ceiling. Support providing premium relied (via a tax credit, tax deduction, or otherwise) to Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program enrollees to cover premium costs above the amount quoted.
