This bill seeks to restrict the ability of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its sub-agencies to conduct large-scale employee removals. It specifically prohibits the use of Federal funds for any agency action that would result in the removal of a significant percentage of its workforce within a defined timeframe. Under this proposed legislation, federal funds cannot be obligated or expended if such actions lead to the removal of 3 percent or more of the total number of employees at HHS within a 60-day period. The prohibition also applies if 3 percent or more of employees at any individual sub-agency or operating division within HHS are removed during the same 60-day timeframe. This includes removals stemming from a reduction in force or any agency reorganization , aiming to safeguard the stability of the HHS workforce.
