Unanimous Consent
Unanimous Consent
A senator may request unanimous consent on the floor to set aside a specified rule of procedure so as to expedite proceedings. If no Senator objects, the Senate permits the action, but if any one senator objects, the request is rejected. Unanimous consent requests with only immediate effects are routinely granted, but ones affecting the floor schedule, the conditions of considering a bill or other business, or the rights of other senators, are normally not offered, or a floor leader will object to it, until all senators concerned have had an opportunity to inform the leaders that they find it acceptable.

Summary

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Hiring and Retention Act of 2017 or the CBP HiRe Act

This bill provides the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with hiring and compensation flexibilities to support the recruitment, relocation, and retention of employees in rural or remote areas.

Specifically, if the CBP demonstrates a direct relationship between the rural or remote nature of an area and the difficulty recruiting and retaining employees in that area, then it may exercise direct hire authority; pay recruitment, relocation, and retention bonuses; establish special pay rates; and provide an allowance for commuting to a remote worksite.

The bill prohibits the CBP from disclosing to another employer the failed polygraph examination results of a job applicant, unless the applicant signs a release granting permission.
