No Violent Criminals in the Federal Workforce Act

Key Points

• Would bar anyone with a final violent-crime conviction from taking or keeping a federal civil service job.
• If a federal worker is finally convicted of a violent crime, the bill says they must be removed from their job.
• Would stop federal agencies from signing contracts with a person convicted of a violent crime, or with a company where that person is an officer, director, contractor worker, or controlling owner.
• Would require contracts to include a rule that a covered person cannot work on that contract, even if the contract already exists.
• Allows a limited waiver if the budget office director says cutting the person or contract would create a unique or undue burden on the federal government.
