What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Saving NASA's Workforce Act," aims to institute a reduction in force moratorium at NASA. It prevents the agency from initiating or implementing any reductions in force until full-year appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are enacted into law. Additionally, the act prohibits the involuntary separation of specific employee groups, such as those in the competitive service or the Senior Executive Service. The only exception to this rule is for cause involving charges of misconduct, delinquency, or inefficiency.
