What this bill would do

The Ensuring Agency Service Quality Act aims to change how employment levels are handled in government agencies. It requires Executive agencies and military departments to maintain employment levels that match the amounts appropriated for them. This change amends Title 5 of the United States Code to move from a discretionary "may" to a mandatory "shall." If an agency or military department cannot meet these required employment levels, the head of that agency must take specific action. They are required to submit a noncompliance notice to relevant congressional committees. This notice must include an explanation of why they cannot comply with the new requirement.

  • Does this give the federal government more power?+2

    The bill mandates requirements upon Executive agencies, thereby centralizing control through mandatory employment levels.
