To prohibit certain removals of employees of the Department of Health and Human Services and sub-agencies and operating divisions thereof, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 2532 **What the Bill Does:** This bill would restrict the ability to remove employees from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its various sub-agencies and divisions. While the specific restrictions aren't detailed in the information provided, the bill essentially aims to provide certain job protections for HHS workers, preventing them from being fired under particular circumstances. **Who It Affects:** The bill would directly affect employees working at HHS and its operating divisions, which include major agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The protections would apply to thousands of federal workers across these agencies. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process.

It was introduced by Representative Jennifer L. McClellan (D-VA), meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. Additional details about the specific removal restrictions would be available by reviewing the bill's full text.
