Summary:

Legislation before Congress--H.R. 2676 and S. 1174--would give the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) flexibility in performance management, staffing, and the development of demonstration projects. The Senate bill also includes classification and pay provisions ("broad banding") and "critical pay authority" to help recruit and retain employees in highly skilled, high-level, technical and professional jobs. The proposed legislation, which would make some flexibilities permanently available and others available for testing, were intended to help IRS improve its service to taxpayers and overcome long-standing performance problems. This testimony comments on the possible implications of these two bills.
