Section 403(d) of the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 ( 2 U.S.C. 1402a(d) ) is amended to read as follows: If the hearing officer’s report on the preliminary review of a claim under subsection
(c)includes the determination that the individual filing the claim is not a covered employee or has not stated a claim for which relief may be granted under this title— the individual may file an amended version of the claim under this section; and the amended claim shall be subject to a preliminary review under this section in the same manner as the original version of the claim. If the individual does not file an amended claim under paragraph (1)(A) prior to the expiration of the 10-day period which begins on the date the hearing officer submits the report on the preliminary review of the individual’s original version of the claim under subsection (c), or if the hearing officer’s report on the amended version of the claim includes the determination that the individual filing the claim is not a covered employee or has not stated a claim for which relief may be granted under this title— the individual (including an individual who is a Library claimant, as defined in section 401(d)(1)) may not obtain a formal hearing with respect to the claim as provided under section 405; and the hearing officer shall provide the individual and the Executive Director with a written notice that the individual may file a civil action with respect to the claim in accordance with section 408. . The amendments made by this section shall apply with respect to claims under the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 which are made on or after the date of the enactment of this Act.
