House Passes Bill to Rotate Cyber Personal Into and Among Government Agencies
The House of Representatives has passed the Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program Act – which would allow skilled cybersecurity techs to work for the government for a set period of time, and allow government workers to rotate among federal agencies – on a 410–15 vote. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it originated in 2019, and was reintroduced with matching language in April.
Participants would be able to return to their original positions (or similar) in the private sector after their government service. Under the leadership of the Office of Personnel Management, the program would encourage agencies to identify positions for rotation that have a focus on multi-agency, integrated cyber missions.
