House lawmakers introduced a bipartisan bill aiming to exempt military spouses from President Trump's mandate requiring federal employees to return to in-person work. This initiative seeks to retain experienced personnel within the federal workforce and support military families facing relocation challenges. The bill addresses concerns raised by military families, particularly in Virginia, about balancing work commitments with service obligations. Representatives highlighted the importance of remote work in maintaining employment for military spouses, ensuring they do not have to choose between their jobs and family responsibilities.
"No military family should have to make this choice. That’s why I’m introducing this bipartisan bill to guarantee that those serving our country in uniform can continue their mission, that our federal agencies retain experienced staff and that military families remain together."
"This bill will help to retain experienced staff from leaving the federal workforce and support military families to hold onto their jobs during challenging relocations and commitments."
