Bill information
Summary
A bill to preclude the Department of Labor from allowing the Deputy Secretary to serve as the Secretary of Labor indefinitely.
Plain-language summary
This bill would prevent the Department of Labor's Deputy Secretary from permanently filling in as Secretary of Labor. The Deputy Secretary is the second-in-command position at the agency. Currently, federal law allows a deputy to serve as secretary temporarily when the main secretary is absent or unable to work. This bill adds limits to how long that temporary arrangement can continue. The bill was introduced by Senator Bill Cassidy and is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.
