Expenditure Restraint Act consolidated text updated: two transitional provisions removed

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The consolidated version of the Expenditure Restraint Act has been updated. Two related provisions have been dropped from the text: a clause that had applied sections of the Public Sector Equitable Compensation Act in priority over the Expenditure Restraint Act, and a pending amendment that would have repealed certain sections of the Act. The removal of the 'amendments not in force' note suggests that previously pending repeal has been resolved or is no longer tracked in the consolidated text. The substantive salary schedules and main operative provisions of the Act remain unchanged. Federal employers and bargaining agents covered by the Act should be aware that the consolidated text now reflects a cleaner set of related provisions, though the practical effect on day-to-day compliance is minimal.
