In one paragraph

The federal S. 3410 (a bill to establish Federal agency technology and AI talent teams to improve competitive service hiring) would let agencies and the OPM Director establish technology and AI talent teams to support hiring, allow experts to develop and share technical assessments, and require the OPM Director to operate an online platform for sharing them. Its definition of an examination would, from 5 years after enactment, include one that does not solely rely on self-assessment from an automated examination, subject to a waiver. Introduced December 10, 2025 and referred to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; no further action.
