Text of the An Act to amend Civil Service retirement provisions as they apply to certain employees of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and of the Indian Health Service who are not entitled to Indian employment preference and to modify the application of the Indian employment preference laws as it applies to those agencies

(Measure passed House amended roll call #611 (175-120)) Entitles certain employees of Indian tribal organizations the Indian Health Service (IHS) or the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to an annuity if separated from service after completing 25 years of service or after attaining 50 years of age and completing 20 years of service if such employee is not an Indian entitled to an employment preference by law. Sets forth formulae for calculating such employees' annuities. Provides for a reduction in such annuities under specified circumstances. States that employees entitled to Indian preference and military preference shall be retained in preference to employees entitled to only military preference during reductions in force within the BIA or the IHS. Declares that reassignments of individuals within the BIA or the IHS shall not be subject to the Indian preference laws when the Commissioner of Indian Affairs determines that the reassignment is necessary: (1) to assure the health or safety of an individual or his family; (2) in the course of a reduction in force; or (3) because the employee's working relationship with a tribe has so deteriorated that the employee cannot provide effective service. Forbids the application of Indian preference laws to any personnel action respecting an individual if the tribal organization served by the unit in which the position exists grants a waiver of those laws. Requires the Secretaries of the Interior and of Health Education and Welfare to report annually to Congress on their actions to recruit and train Indians for positions subject to Indian preference laws and to place non-Indian employees of the BIA and the IHS in other Federal positions.
