Section 7 of the Peace Corps Act ( 22 U.S.C. 2506 ) is amended by inserting after subsection
(a)the following: The Peace Corps may suspend (without pay) any employee appointed or assigned under this section if the Director has determined that the employee engaged in serious misconduct that could impact the efficiency of the service and could lead to removal for cause. Any employee for whom a suspension without pay is proposed under this subsection shall be entitled to— written notice stating the specific reasons for such proposed suspension; up to 15 days to respond orally or in writing to such proposed suspension if the employee is assigned in the United States; or up to 30 days to respond orally or in writing to such proposed suspension if the employee is assigned outside of the United States; representation by an attorney or other representative, at the employee’s own expense; a written decision, including the specific reasons for such decision, as soon as practicable; a process through which the employee may submit an appeal to the Director of the Peace Corps not later than 10 business days after the issuance of a written decision; and a final decision personally rendered by the Director of the Peace Corps not later than 30 days after the receipt of such appeal. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a final decision under paragraph (2)(F) shall be final and not subject to further review. If the Director fails to establish misconduct by an employee under paragraph
(1)and no disciplinary action is taken against such employee based upon the alleged grounds for the suspension, the employee shall be entitled to reinstatement, back pay, full benefits, and reimbursement of attorney fees of up to $20,000. .
