Hiring Preference for Veterans and Americans With Disabilities Act
Introduced Oct 9, 2025 by Sen. Tim Sheehy
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill allows states and local jurisdictions to give a hiring preference (when hiring election workers to administer an election in the state or local jurisdiction) to veterans, individuals with a disability, and nonresident military spouses or dependents.
Further, the bill prohibits states and local jurisdictions from refusing to hire a nonresident military spouse or dependent as an election worker solely on the grounds that the individual does not maintain a place of residence in the state or local jurisdiction.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
