What this bill would do

The REHIRE Act provides hiring preferences for certain career Federal employees who are involuntarily removed from the civil service between January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2027. These employees would be considered preference eligible for competitive service appointments and receive 5 additional points above their earned rating. This preference does not apply to political appointees or those removed for documented misconduct, delinquency, or unacceptable performance. The authority provided by this Act expires 5 years after its enactment.
