S-349 : Still Just a Bill

Military Spouse Employment Act

This bill allows executive agencies to appoint military spouses to remote work positions. (The current appointment authority does not specifically extend to remote positions.)

The bill defines remote work as a particular type of telework that does not require an employee to report to an official agency location on a regular and recurring basis.
