Proposed bill would fire federal employees who refuse to testify

Alabama Republican Rep. Mo Brooks has introduced legislation that would fire any federal employee who refuses to answer questions or gives false testimony at a congressional hearing.

The legislation was introduced in response to Lois Lerner, the IRS employee who revealed the agency's practice of targeting of tea party groups and subsequently declined to answer questions at congressional hearing on the issue, The Hill reported.

The proposed bill would require the termination of "any federal employee who refuses to answer questions in a congressional hearing after being granted immunity," according to the report.

If three-fourths of the congressional body to whom the testimony was given finds that a federal worker "willfully or knowingly gave false testimony" during a hearing, then that employee would be fired under the legislation.
