Congressman Nick Langworthy Supported Bipartisan Bills To Streamline Federal Agency Recruitment and Transparency
WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, January 24th, Congressman Nick Langworthy supported two bipartisan bills sponsored by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability – the Chance to Compete Act and the Settlement Agreement Information Database. These bills will require federal agencies to have the tools to provide objective, skills-based assessments to evaluate job candidates and to form a public database with information on consent decrees and settlement agreements.
“These bipartisan bills are a no brainer to strengthen the trust in our federal agencies and provide equal opportunities to a skilled workforce without a higher education degree,” said Congressman Langworthy. “We should be empowering individuals to seek employment within our government regardless of their educational background and provide true transparency on agency settlement agreements. I applaud my colleagues in choosing to side with the American taxpayer.”
