The purpose of this legislation, known as the "Saving NOAA's Workforce Act," is to prevent job cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) until full funding for the agency is secured for the fiscal year 2026. The goal is to protect the workforce at NOAA during a critical time when budget decisions are being made. The key provision of this legislation is a moratorium on any reductions in force at NOAA. This means that the agency cannot lay off employees or reduce its workforce until the budget for the next fiscal year is finalized and approved.
