Federal Workforce Civics Competency and Accountability Act

# Federal Workforce Civics Competency and Accountability Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill, formally titled the Federal Workforce Civics Competency and Accountability Act, would require federal employees to demonstrate competency in civics—knowledge about how the U.S. government, Constitution, and political system function. While the full details aren't publicly available yet, the bill's title suggests it would establish some form of civics testing or competency requirements for federal workers and create accountability measures for those who don't meet these standards. **Who It Affects:** The bill would directly impact federal employees across government agencies.

It could also indirectly affect the hiring process for new federal workers if civics competency becomes a requirement for employment or advancement. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 7102 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Abraham Hamadeh, a Republican from Arizona. Without the bill's detailed text being readily available, the specific civics competency standards and accountability mechanisms remain unclear.
