119th Congress · Session 1 · March 14, 2025

A vote on a proposed change to the bill

A vote on one change, not on the bill. A bill can collect dozens of these, and losing one does not stop it.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-1274 — To make veteran Federal employees who were involuntarily dismissed without cause eligible for reinstatement and to require reports from Executive agencies on the number of veteran employees fired from such agencies.

As an analyst looking out for the working people, let's break down what this amendment does in plain English. Proposed by Senator Duckworth and a group of her colleagues, amendment SA 1274 to the bill H.R. 1968 is all about protecting veteran federal employees who might get unfairly pushed out of their jobs, and making sure our elected officials and government agencies are held accountable for those actions.

The Senate recorded this as

To make veteran Federal employees who were involuntarily dismissed without cause eligible for reinstatement and to require reports from Executive agencies on the number of veteran employees fired from such agencies.
