Bill 118 s 5608, also known as the "Federal Workforce Reduction Act," aims to decrease the size of the Federal workforce through attrition. This means that instead of laying off employees, the government would not fill vacant positions as they become available, gradually reducing the overall number of federal employees.
The bill does not specify a specific timeline or target number for reducing the workforce, but rather leaves it up to individual agencies to determine how best to achieve the reduction through natural attrition. The goal of the bill is to streamline government operations, reduce costs, and increase efficiency by eliminating unnecessary positions and reducing redundancy within the federal workforce.
In addition to reducing the size of the federal workforce, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes, although these are not specified in the summary. It is important to note that the bill does not target any specific agencies or departments, but rather applies to the entire federal government.
Overall, the Federal Workforce Reduction Act aims to make the government more efficient and cost-effective by gradually reducing the size of the federal workforce through attrition.
