A State or unit of general local government may not employ an individual for a position funded under this title, if— employing such individual will result in the layoff or partial displacement (such as a reduction in hours, wages, or employee benefits) of an existing employee of the unit; or such individual will perform the same or substantially similar work that had previously been performed by an employee of the unit who— has been laid off or partially displaced (as such term is described in paragraph
(1)); and has not been offered by the unit, to be restored to the position the employee had immediately prior to being laid off or partially displaced. For the purposes of this subsection, a position shall be considered to have been eliminated by a State or unit of general local government if the position has remained unfilled and the unit has not sought to fill such position for at least a period of one month. An individual may not be hired for a position funded under this title in a manner that infringes upon the promotional opportunities of an existing employee (as of the date of such hiring) of a unit receiving funding under this title.
