Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Life & Work
The Selective Service System employs roughly 130 full-time federal workers. If this bill passes, the agency would be dissolved and those employees would need to transfer to other federal positions. The bill requires the Office of Personnel Management to help with that transition, but it still means job disruption and uncertainty for those workers.
“The Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall assist officers and employees of the Selective Service System to transfer to other positions in the executive branch.”
