Federal Supervisor Education Act

Floor Speech

Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 5810, the Federal Supervisor Education Act of 2025. The bill was reported favorably by the Oversight Committee unanimously on December 2 with bipartisan support.

The bill would require Federal agencies to create and implement training and development programs for agency supervisors. These programs will help improve their management skills, communicate with their colleagues, and mentor fellow employees. It will also help them when it comes to knowing what is prohibited when it comes to personnel practices, employee rights, and how those rights must be protected.

A lot of these Federal agency supervisors actually live in my district. Those supervisors should know that they won't have to do this annually. This is once every 3 years. This will be beneficial to our agencies and to the supervisors as well.

I thank the majority for incorporating feedback from the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Walkinshaw) and committee Democrats prior to the bill reaching the floor. Due to this, committee Democrats unanimously supported this legislation in markup.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
