White House Fellows Program Authorization Act

This bill would write the White House Fellows Program into federal law; it currently exists by executive order. A presidential commission of up to 30 unpaid members would recommend 11 to 19 Fellows each year, and the President would make the final picks. Fellows would be U.S. citizens with an undergraduate degree, early in their careers, and would work full-time for 12 months for senior federal officials at General Schedule pay. Current federal employees could not apply, except active-duty military members. The Office of Personnel Management would support the program, the commission would report to Congress each year, and funding would be authorized for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
