BOP Direct-Hire Authority Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let the Director of the federal Bureau of Prisons hire qualified candidates directly into competitive service jobs at Bureau of Prisons facilities. These hires could be made without following most of the standard federal competitive hiring rules in subchapter I of chapter 33 of title 5, although sections 3303 and 3328 of that chapter would still apply. The hiring authority would end once 96 percent of the competitive service positions that exist at these facilities on the date the law is enacted are filled.
