Executive Order 14317: Creating Schedule G in the Excepted Service

This Executive Order has established Schedule G in the federal excepted service, filling a long-standing gap for noncareer, policy-making and policy-advocating roles subject to presidential transition. This move aims to streamline hiring for positions that help implement presidential priorities, particularly within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The order emphasizes transparency by prohibiting political affiliation from influencing these appointments. It also empowers the Office of Personnel Management to regulate and implement the changes.
