"House Committee Approves Bill to Restrict Length of Acting DOL Secretaries' Tenure"
The House Education and Workforce Committee has approved a bill that would prevent Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su from leading the Department of Labor without Senate confirmation. The bill, introduced by Rep. Kevin Kiley, would limit the acting secretary capacity to 210 days, aligning with the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. Su's nomination for the top job is facing opposition, and she would need all remaining Democratic senators' support and Vice President Kamala Harris's tiebreaking vote to be confirmed. The bill will now move to the full House for consideration.
