The "Reduction in Force Review Act" subjects federal agency rules concerning reductions in force (RIFs) to congressional review under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code. This bill mandates that agencies provide a detailed justification for any RIF, which must include the specific reasons, anticipated impact on employees and operations, and any alternatives considered and rejected. It also requires a summary of consultations with affected employees and their representatives, alongside an assessment of the RIF's impact on veteran employees . Crucially, the legislation expands the definition of a "rule" to explicitly include RIFs and other significant agency actions, such as workforce restructuring or office closures, that materially affect employees or operations. This ensures comprehensive oversight of major agency decisions impacting the federal workforce.
