H.R. 6558 · 118th Congress
END the DEEP STATE 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 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Enabling Necessary Discipline with the Defense of Executives’ Endeavors to Properly Staff Their Agencies with Trustworthy Employees Act or the END the DEEP STATE Act
This bill requires the Office of Personnel Management to withdraw the proposed rule titled Upholding Civil Service Protections and Merit System Principles and published on September 18, 2023. The bill also prohibits further action to finalize, implement, or enforce the same or a substantially similar rule.
The proposed rule addresses civil service protections for federal employees. Among other things, the proposed rule
- provides that federal employees shall not lose their status or civil service protections when they involuntarily leave the competitive service to enter the excepted service or move between positions in the excepted service;
- establishes related procedures that apply when moving to these positions; and
- specifies that the phrase confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating, which is used to describe certain positions that are excepted from civil service protections, is intended to apply to noncareer, political appointments.
