Federal Emergency Mobilization Accountability (FEMA) Workforce Planning Act

This bill would require the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to write a workforce plan within 1 year of the law taking effect and at least every 3 years after that, and send it to committees in the Senate and House. The plan would cover staffing gaps, skills needs, hiring and retention goals, costs, attrition data, training and deployment of the Surge Capacity Force, and reported cases of discrimination and harassment. The plan would also include strategies to address discrimination based on political affiliation and data on how long hiring takes. The Government Accountability Office would review each plan within 180 days and report whether it meets the law's requirements. The bill does not authorize any new funding.
