Cybersecurity Hiring Modernization Act

This bill changes federal hiring rules for certain cybersecurity and information technology jobs in the competitive civil service. Agencies could set a minimum education requirement for these jobs only if state or local law requires that education to perform the job's duties where the work is done. Agencies could consider a candidate's education toward other qualifications only if it directly reflects the skills needed for the job. The Office of Personnel Management would have to post yearly online any changes to education standards for these jobs and data on the education levels of people hired into them.
