I have read the bill from beginning to end- it’s literally just a bill to increase employment of the US Forest Service fire fighting team. It has a section that also makes it so the Secretary of Ag has the power to expedite the hiring process. The part that is concerning adds a stipulation about how they are able to exercise that power.

E.g.: “DHA expedites hiring by removing competitive rating and ranking, preferences for certain candidates, and requirements to consider the top three candidates.”

I am not saying this is good legislation, I am just confused by the language, and have no idea what all this will impact.

ETA: Nvm, this legislation is fucked. It allows hiring prisoners for no pay.
