No Jobs for the Sake of Jobs Law of 2025
A BILL
To end tenure protections for redundant federal roles, require annual AI-readiness reviews, and transition the civil service toward value-based employment aligned with 21st-century needs.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE
This Act may be cited as the “No Jobs for the Sake of Jobs” Law of 2025.”
SECTION 2. FINDINGS
Congress finds the following:
Government employment must serve the public good—not function as a vehicle for outdated, unnecessary, or duplicative roles.
AI and automation technologies allow for increased service efficiency without sacrificing quality or equity.
Legacy tenure protections have enabled long-term inefficiency and stifled government modernization.
Transitioning from role-based to purpose-based employment models will restore public trust and fiscal integrity.
SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS
As used in this Act:
Tenure-Based Protection refers to civil service employment guarantees not subject to performance or structural necessity review.
Functionally Redundant Role means a job that no longer serves a distinct operational purpose or can be ethically automated.
AI-Readiness Review means a mandated annual analysis of each federal department’s workforce to identify inefficiencies and automation opportunities.

(b) Affected roles shall enter a sunset track, which includes:
