S 2632 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To institute a reduction in force moratorium at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill prohibits the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from conducting reduction in force actions until Congress has enacted full-year appropriations for NASA for fiscal year 2026. The moratorium prevents NASA from conducting workforce reductions under specified federal personnel law sections. Once the 2026 appropriations are enacted, NASA would no longer be restricted from conducting such actions.
