S. 4911 · 117th Congress
Hiring Proven Performers to the Civil Service Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Hiring Proven Performers to the Civil Service Act
This bill authorizes a federal agency to noncompetitively appoint certain high-performing federal employees.
Specifically, an agency may noncompetitively appoint, for other than temporary employment, to a position in the competitive service any individual who
- is certified by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as having been a high-performing employee in a former position in the competitive service;
- has been separated from the former position for less than six years; and
- is qualified for the new position in the competitive service, as determined by the head of the agency making the appointment.
An individual may not be appointed to such a position more than once.
OPM must set forth the criteria for certifying an individual as a high-performing employee in a former position based on (1) the individual's final performance appraisal in that former position, and (2) a recommendation by the individual's immediate or other supervisor in that position.
