• HSGAC TO CONSIDER OMNIBUS GOVERNMENT REFORM PACKAGE - April 29, 2016

• Limits on Feds' Bonuses and Leave Included in Senate’s New Government Reform Package

  By Eric Katz, Government Executive

  Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, announced plans to combine fifteen government reform bills the committee has approved into one large package, which has assurances to be considered by the full Senate. The package will include the Administrative Leave Act (S. 2450), sponsored by Senators Jon Tester (D-MT) and Charles Grassley (R-IA), which FMA strongly supports.
