Executive Order Establishes Schedule G for Noncareer Policy Positions
Impact Score: 2.8
Timeline: Not specified
Summary: This executive order creates a new Schedule G in the excepted service to cover noncareer policy-making or policy-advocating positions, typically vacated during Presidential transitions. It amends Civil Service Rules to include Schedule G, assigns the Office of Personnel Management to implement regulations, and tasks the Secretary of Veterans Affairs with appointments disregarding political affiliation. While intended to improve government administration, it raises concerns about increased political influence in federal appointments and potential impacts on agency objectivity and federal partnerships.
Key Actions: Monitor Schedule G implementation, review hiring practices, conduct research on its effects, and assess impacts on veteran services and federal agency collaborations.
