This bill would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from rehiring employees who were previously fired by the agency for misconduct. Currently the IRS doesn’t have such a policy in place, and has rehired hundreds of employees who were terminated for improperly accessing taxpayer information, filing false documents, unacceptable performance or other problems.
This legislation would apply to all former IRS employees who were fired before, on, or after its date of enactment. It also includes a clause making it clear that it would authorize no additional funding for the IRS.
